This study, by Harvard researchers, followed the health and eating habits of 110,000 adults for over 20 years.

One 3 oz. serving per day increased the risk of dying by 13% during the study.

Processed meat raised the risk by 20%. (i.e.,bacon, hot dogs, lunch meat etc.)

Any amount of red meat will increase your risk of mortality. That was the conclusion of this study by the Harvard School of Public Health in Boston.

Soy Study: In Hawaii, 17,000 men were followed for 30+ years.

Conclusion: Regular tofu consumption in midlife and beyond, caused accelerated brain aging/atrophy. The subjects were tested periodically and were 71 to 93 when the final test was given.

The above study was reported by Roy Walford, M.D., in his book, "Beyond The 120 Year Diet". Walford was considered to be an expert in the field of gerontology. He didn't mention who did the study but said he thought it was a well done study. I don't think he was biased because he also mentioned a lot of good things about soy.

Here is a pretty good summary of the study recently published by Harvard School of Public Health. It shows further findings of less frequent red meat eating than a serving every day.

Maybe our burgers will switch to ground chicken.
