In this episode of Revolution Health Radio (RHR) we discuss “Heart Attacks and Red Meat—Correlation or Causation?” People who eat red meat are engaging in unhealthy behaviors that have led to their gut flora being screwed up in the first place. Those could include eating fewer fruits and vegetables, eating less soluble fiber, fermentable fibers in general, eating more processed and refined flour, and eating more sugar and industrial seed oils. And wouldn’t you know it; we do have studies that show that the average person who eats more red meat—we’re not talking about Paleo dieters here because that’s not the average person—but the typical American who eats a lot of red meat also engages in those other behaviors that would be bad for the gut flora. Those behaviors, each of them, have been associated in separate studies with undesirable changes in the gut microbiota.
