National Pork Board sees balance in new red meat study

The National Pork Board is confident the new report on red meat consumption and human health will bring balance to previous dietary research.

NPB’s Adria Huseth, who is a registered dietician, tells Brownfield the findings are based on the most comprehensive review of evidence to date.

“One thing consistent in research prior to this is inconsistency, if that makes sense.”

Huseth says what she means is previous data connecting red meat to cardiovascular disease and cancer has less merit.

“So there can be confidence that they’ve taken all the other studies into account when doing these meta-analysis.”

Huseth encourages consumers to continue enjoying fresh, lean pork within recommended levels.
