After all the warnings, Sunday roast not linked to heart disease". <br /><br />Amusing, I thought, given that they had previously published such zingers as 'Red meat link to higher risk of breast cancer' on the 5/5/2007, and that 'Red meat can raise the risk of cancer by 25 per cent' on the 10/12/2007; 'Health warning for women as experts claim eating red meat twice a day can increase risk of heart disease' on 17/8/2010, 'Girls with a high meat diet more likely to start periods early AND increase risk of breast cancer and heart disease' on 12/6/2010 & 'Too much red meat could leave you blind, scientists warn' on 19/3/2009.' <br /><br />Looking more closely, I noted that the article was written by the Meat Advisory Panel, which is funded entirely by - oh, the meat industry. How coincidental!<br /><br />And then this evening, the Daily Telegraph published an article entitled: 'Eat less red meat, Government scientists warn'. Hmm. Reading this somewhat differing article, I found that a study funded independently of the meat trade and commissioned some time ago by the government is due to publish their findings this week coming. A government source said that 'It is important that people are not put off eating red meat entirely – but it would be irresponsible to ignore the potential health risks. The advice is very clear'. <br /><br />Interestingly, this article also mentioned that the meat industry is likely to fiercely defend the role of red meat in a balanced diet.<br /><br />Regards, beastly_bernard - who still can't register on the Mailwatch forum :(Headcuffshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03981595758952651714noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21544361.post-30502357599189826072011-02-18T18:31:25.367+00:002011-02-18T18:31:25.367+00:00My guess is that he hasn't been invited recent...My guess is that he hasn't been invited recently, or his agent has had an approach knocked back.Five Chinese Crackershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09395982651352498540noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21544361.post-46807575712940237012011-02-18T17:55:31.417+00:002011-02-18T17:55:31.417+00:00I had to read this item a couple of times before I...I had to read this item a couple of times before I figured it out. Why is RLJ going on about something that was on the telly 15 months ago? He's having a go at the BBC! And he can't recall anything more recent to use as material...?
