hey guys dr. Berg here in this video

we’re gonna discuss the truth about red

meat now before we start I do know that

this is very controversial subject and a

lot of people are very passionate about

you know animals being killed in that

but I want to talk about just about the

health benefits about actual red meat

and really kind of dig deep in what the

studies say there’s first of all you

have to realize that there are multiple

studies that disagree with red meat

being the source of cancer okay however

the study called the nurse health study

and I’ll put the link down below if you

actually read it states that it

increases your risk by 13% of dying of

all illnesses or diseases okay so it

does increase your risk so and they said

you need to switch to chicken whole

grains okay but let’s take a look at

what kind of study they actually did to

confirm that first of all it wasn’t an

experimental City it was an

observational study based on a

questionnaire that was given out every

two years from 1980 to 2006 now I will

guarantee there’s when you do a

questionnaire for a study it’s not a

controlled study there are so many

variables you can’t isolate these

variables like other things that people

aid if they’re smoker or whatnot so it

leaves the things up to a lot of biases

and it’s very very weak but here’s an

interesting thing they always used the

word risk okay what is risk me why don’t

they just say rate of getting cancer or

dying

well because risk has a different term

legally it actually is more open it

doesn’t necessarily mean you have a 13%

rate of getting of dying so it’s kind of

a big variable there now the other thing

is they did not identify if it was

grass-fed beef was it processed beef was

it organic

whether that McDonald’s they didn’t

measure that data okay so the question

is what are the real statistics from

Studies on processed meat

okay process red meat you know it’s

classified as a class 1 carcinogen at

the same level of smoke

King right so of course people are

freaking out about it but take a look at

like bowel cancer

they found that three more incidents of

bowel cancer occur per a hundred

thousand people okay

hundred thousand cases that’s one in

thirty three thousand cases so they have

three more incidents of bowel cancer

well cancer I mean smoking increases

your chance by 20 X 20 times more so

that’s like you can’t compare those two

it’s not really a class 1 carcinogen

it’s now what I want to talk about is I

do not believe that there’s any risk or

any studies that show that consuming

grass-fed quality beef will increase

your risk of dying at all or any

diseases okay now the benefit of red

meat and by the way I consume a lot of

red meat I don’t do a lot per sitting

I’ll do a small amount maybe 3 or 4

ounces but I do my body feels great on

really good red meat the kind of the red

meat that I buy I don’t buy the 90

percent lean I buy the 85 percent

because that lean stuff I just it’s

harder to digest and when it has fat in

it so that’s just a side note but red

meat has more observable vitamin D than

milk ok it has more b12 b1 b2 b3 b6 b5

it has tons of observable iron it has

healthy collagen it has a good amount of

potassium believe it or not it has zinc

magnesium copper phosphates and it’s

loaded with omega-3 in fact it has five

times more omega-3 grass-fed beef has 5

times more Omega 3 than grain fed beef

and the problem with grain fed is not

only sometimes you involve hormones but

you involve the genetically modified GMO

soy and corn in the feed so that’s

another big problem that they would I

would love for them to do a study on

that so when you do research I think the

problem with

research is that you’re gonna actually

try that first have a theory and then

you’re going to come find research to

back it up and that’s how people

approach it they have this thing that’s

fixed idea in mind and now I’m going to

find research to back up my theory and

then so I can prove my theory rather

than do an evaluation on the data and

see where it ends up it’s a better

viewpoint okay so that’s my two cents on

meat and thanks for watching
