CFN - NUTRITION Where is The Beef? Meat has been branded as a pariah food linked to colon cancer, heart attacks and diabetes. However, consumed in moderation, lean red meat is a viable part of a healthy diet. Consuming six ounces or less per day along with other healthy foods helps reduce blood pressure. Consuming lean beef is just as effective as chicken or fish in promoting weight loss and preserving muscle mass as part of a low calorie diet. More than half of the fat found in beef is monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fat. Many cuts of lean meat are economically priced. Lean beef is an important part of a healthy diet.
