So this may come as no surprise to some but apparently if you eat red meat, you may day sooner than those who don't.  A new study says that eating red meat will significantly increase the risk of premature death. This is all according to a long-range study that examined the eating habits and health of more than 110,000 adults for more than 20 years.

If that doesn't sound bad enough, they are saying that processed meats, like hot dogs and bacon will increase it even more. So, unprocessed is a bit better but not by much.

Researchers said eating a serving of nuts instead of beef or pork was associated with a 19% lower risk of dying during the study. The team said choosing poultry or whole grains as a substitute was linked with a 14% reduction in mortality risk; low-fat dairy or legumes, 10%; and fish, 7%.

I am don't think I will stop eating meat, I only enjoy red meats every once in a while.
