Does this mean meat protein harmful?
There is research that suggests that there is a correlation between a high intake of animal protein and abdominal obesity.
Meat is not necessarily harmful, however it contains an insufficient amount of nutrients that are incorporated into the optimal diet.
A Closer Look…
As evidenced by the pie chart, the average American intakes less than half, or even a fifth the amount of plant based foods as processed or animal sourced foods.
This is important
Does the exchange of soy protein for meat protein decrease
abdominal obesity in postmenopausal women?
15 postmenopausal women with abdominal obesity, split into groups; one assigned to high soy protein diet, another assigned to a mixed protein diet.
Participants were to be assessed in a randomized-controlled trial on their blood plasma, total blood cholesterol, the health status of their arteries/heart, and well as their lipid content and insulin sensitivity.
After lab values were collected, results indicated that high soy protein diets are beneficial to lowering the risk of abdominal obesity.

Which protein, milk or soy, provides the most benefit to the maintenance of total
blood cholesterol? 352 US adults with a total cholesterol of <240
mg/dL 40 grams of the given protein and wheat
carbohydrate were supplemented to the participants.
Results show that soy protein improves the blood lipid level in young adults without...
Hypercholesterolemia
Hypercholesterolemia is a condition where people do not have enough total blood cholesterol, usually less than 160 mg/dL in total cholesterol count.
As a result of these findings: There is an increase of
vegetarianism/veganism in the American culture.
Ultimately:
Say no to red meat!
