A recent systemic review of clinical trials published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition found that most independent studies indicate unprocessed red meat consumption has an unfavourable effect on cardiovascular disease risk, while favourable effects were only found in red meat-industry related studies. This finding indicates that industry related studies are less trustworthy than those funded independently, and supports the recommendation to replace unprocessed red meat with plant-based proteins to enhance cardiovascular health.
