Here are two recent studies I find interesting. First a new study has just come out saying that it's ok to eat red meat and processed meat. I don't eat a lot of red meat, except for an occasional steak when I'm eating at a restaurant. I do however have a bit of a processed meat habit. I really like summer sausage and have it for lunch several times a week. I was a little sceptical about this study and became more so as I've heard various TV doctors slam the indipendent study. I also began to question motives when, within five minutes of the frist airing of this report, there was a commercial for a steak house. Probably just a coincidence. Right?
The second study got me more excited. It said that snacking on nuts helps you control weight gain. This sounded really good to me because I do snack on nuts quite often. I became a little less excited, though, when I heard the final part of the report. It seems that people who snack on nuts gain, on average, one half pound a year while people who snack on other snacks gain one pound a year. Forgive me if I'm under-whelmed.
