Diet high in beef center of our woes

To The Editor: "In June, have beef and dairy for dinner," says the Times-News on May 28 and "Have steak and healthy heart," says the Times-News on May 16.

They remind us that June is "Beef and Dairy month" while extolling the health virtues of beef and dairy. Nothing could be further from the truth.

Consumption of commercially raised beef and dairy cows are our No.1 environmental hazard. The Nurse's Health Study linked red meat with a two-fold increase in breast cancer. Both red meat and dairy add to inflammation, plaque, bone loss and clogged arteries (think heart disease, cancer, Alzheimers and other chronic ailments).

Americans consume more dairy and red meat than other western countries but die of degenerative diseases more often (with medical help). The American diet is an acid-inflammation condition.

Chronic inflammation is America's problem because it damages all blood vessels to all our organs. Statins do lower cholesterol numbers but do nothing to stop patients from eating oxidized cholesterol from beef and dairy -- the "sticky stuff" of arteriosclerosis plaque.

Anti-inflammatories are omega-3 oils, natural plant foods and anti-oxidant supplements.
