NAMI Condemns Osteopath Study on Meat

A review of large-scale studies published in the Journal of Osteopathic Association calls out meat for a host of mortality causes. The meatingplace.com website said the North American Meat Institute said it’s based on “weak correlation data.” The review was conducted by the Mayo Clinic in Arizona and is titled “Is Meat Killing Us?” The authors analyzed six studies and came up with recommendations that physicians should advise their patients to limit animal products when possible and consume more plants than meat. The North American Meat Institute calls it another example of taking weak correlation data and trying to make a broader conclusion from it. NAMI said the study authors left out one recent large-scale study that contradicted their findings entirely. They say physicians are best suited to follow the US Dietary Guidelines that affirm red and processed meats can be part of a balanced diet.
