Healthy diets can include low to moderate amounts of red meat
Including lean beef in your Mediterranean diet may lower your risk factors for developing heart disease, reveals a new study.
Is Red Meat Good?
Eating red meat may have a bad reputation for being bad for the heart, but new research found that lean beef may have a place in healthy diets, after all.
In a randomized controlled study, researchers found that a Mediterranean diet combined with small portions of lean beef helped lower risk factors for developing heart disease, such as LDL cholesterol.

Study: fading memories make childhood trauma research a challenge in adults
By: Office of Strategic Communication | 2021.02.23 | 10:13 am
A new study from the University of Iowa finds that the limitations of human memory make it difficult for researchers to link adverse childhood experiences to physical health issues later in life.
The researchers found that so many people either forget what happened to them in childhood or don’t remember it clearly enough that asking adults about their experiences as children may introduce biases.
The study asked 454 African-Americans about adverse childhood experiences such as physical abuse, divorce, crime, and neighborhood violence. Researchers asked the respondents first when they were 10 years old and again when they were in their 30s.
