Did you know that among all of the other ills associated with eating red meat, researchers are now saying that it can increase your chances of developing rheumatoid arthritis? Pretty scary, huh - a British study, published in the medical journal Arthritis & Rheumatism, followed 250 people who kept food diaries listing everything they ate for a week. One-third of the people in the study suffered from inflammatory arthritis in at least two joints in this study. People who ate the most red meat were more than twice as likely to have arthritis. Some 40 percent of the participants who had arthritis ate more than 58 grams of red meat. Furthermore, those who combined red meat with other animal proteins had a higher risk of inflammatory arthritis than those who ate less meat.
Also, did you know that, as much as the pundits would like to find fault with the vegetarian lifestyle, a retrospective British study was carried out on 116 patients with anorexia nervosa to ascertain the extent and nature of vegetarianism in this population? Of the 116, Sixty-three (54.3%) patients were found to be avoiding red meat. So what does that tell you? It says that less than half were meat eaters and half were not. Split down the middle on vegetarians being anorexic or meat eaters being anorexic. These studies funded by bias groups need to stop providing miss information! Meat eaters are just as much at risk of getting anorexia as vegetarians. It's a psychological issue not a dietary one. Although, I would contend if the study was done on the overall population many, many more meat eaters are anorexic than vegetarians. Sadly, Michael Jackson might have died due to his anorexia.

Another study by the Rheumatology Unit at Massachusetts General Hospital and Harvard Medical School reviewed recent research on diet and arthritis, and concluded that there was an association between an increased risk of arthritis and both a high consumption of meat and a low consumption of Vitamin C. They noted that the Mediterranean diet, which is on the right path to being a vegetarian lifestyle, focuses mostly on plant foods and olive oil while restricting red meat, can head off the development or arthritis and lessen the severity of symptoms.
The more that scientists and doctors study the connection between diet, eating lifestyles and overall health, the more they discover that eating meat is unhealthy. As you continue your vegetarian lifestyle, you can feel good about the fact that the choices you make at the grocery store can help you live a longer, healthier, happier Life! Michael Jackson, God rest his soul, would have fared a longer, healthier life had he avoided the dieting nightmare and anorexia that obviously consumed him.
