Red meat Blues
I am a fairly new Adventist convert. I have a friend who is a brother who does not eat red meat. He encouraged me to do the same. He says that it says in your body as long as a week. Is this true? Does anyone know that answer? I have also been told the beef used at places like McDonalds and Burger King is really bad for you because it goes thru a extra level of processing. Does anyone know the truth about this ?

Here is a website that deals with why humans should not eat meat. http://www.celestialhealing.net/physicalveg3.htm
It is not an adventist site but it still shows that many people are starting teo see the dangers of meat eating. -

Negative Health Effects of Red Meat
Regardless, nutritionists hardly need more evidence about the potentially negative health effects of eating red meat. For starters, the saturated animal fat in red meat contributes to heart disease and atherosclerosis. Recent research also shows that frequent red meat eaters face twice the risk of colon cancer as those who indulge less often. Red meat is also thought to increase the risks of rheumatoid arthritis and endometriosis.
Meanwhile, according to the American Dietetic Association, vegetarian diets can significantly reduce the risk of heart disease, colon cancer, osteoporosis, diabetes, kidney disease, hypertension, obesity, and other debilitating medical conditions. While red meat is a key source of protein and vitamin B12 in North American diets, nutritionists explain that properly planned meat-free diets easily provide these important nutrients while keeping you healthier in the long run.
