CHAPTER 8: THE BEST MEAT TO EAT FOR HEALTHY LIVING Meat is generally considered one of the primary staple foods in an email, but it may be surprising to find that there are actually some meats that are healthier than others. Of course, we know the difference between red meats and white meats. Red meats are more often linked to health problems and coronary issues, while white meats are considered leaner and healthier overall. What some people may be surprised to find is that there are other issues that make meats unhealthy. Issues such as the things that they are fed while the animals are still alive and antibiotics and hormones that may be injected into them to make them grow faster or produce more milk, at least in the case of cows. These types of hormones ultimately enter the meat that we consume and can cause problems in our own bodies. If we are not conscientious of the choices that we make when we are choosing our foods, they can ultimately come to contribute to poor health in the future, including but not limited to cancers and hormone changes that can be quite debilitating.
