Red Meat is Bad for Your Gut Flora = Cardiovascular Problems

Researchers at Tufts University and Cleveland Clinic’s Lerner Research Institute have unraveled the association between atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease — that’s clogged up arteries and heart woes — and eating red/processed meats. For the first time it’s been shown that a lot of the damage that red/processed meats cause comes from the way they affect your gut bacteria. Seems they stimulate production of specialized metabolites, such as TMAO, that cause destructive inflammation in your circulatory system.

The study, published in the journal Arteriosclerosis, Thrombosis, and Vascular Biology, shows that for every 1.1 servings of red/processed meats that you eat daily, your risk of heart disease increases 22%. Apparently the levels of L-carnitine and heme iron found in red meats are especially damaging.

Eating fish (Bravo, salmon!) and poultry doesn’t cause the same troubles. And, making a switch to plant-based and fish/poultry sourced proteins can reduce your gut levels of TMAOs and other harmful metabolites. So, it’s a slam dunk: For better heart-and-gut health, ditch red and processed meats. You’ll also reduce chronic inflammation that’s implicated in everything from diabetes to dementia.
