HI All, This is a great rebuttal by Chris Kresser analyzing this new study. It makes sense and goes over the study detail by detail. Enjoy. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Chris Kresser L.Ac <[log in to unmask]> Date: Wed, Apr 10, 2013 at 8:07 AM Subject: Breaking News: Red Meat, TMAO, and Heart Disease To: [log in to unmask] ** Having trouble viewing this email?

Red Meat and TMAO: It's the Gut, Not the Meat I'm sure many of you have seen reports on a recent study suggesting a possible mechanism linking red meat consumption to heart disease. The day after one such report was published in the New York Times, I received about 57 emails and numerous Facebook and Twitter messages from concerned red meat enthusiasts. This is understandable, but rest assured it's not yet time to switch over to soy burgers. The researchers in this study published a paper a while back proposing that a chemical called TMAO (trimethylamine N-oxide) increases the risk of heart disease. In this study, they hypothesized that eating red meat may increase levels of TMAO in the bloodstream, which would intern ramp up your chances of having a heart attack. Sounds plausible, right? <https://iw108.infusionsoft.com/app/linkClick/10739/0b6c6e31c87fc242/4317983/7b5ae9fe8028127a> In Health, [image: Chris Kresser signature] Chris Kresser, L.Ac Follow Chris [image: Interesting Image]<https://iw108.infusionsoft.com/app/linkClick/10723/a1c091b94061cc3f/4317983/7b5ae9fe8028127a> [image: Interesting Image]<https://iw108.infusionsoft.com/app/linkClick/10725/1754209c44c86ce8/4317983/7b5ae9fe8028127a> [image: Interesting Image]<https://iw108.infusionsoft.com/app/linkClick/10727/7a25827d20d063c2/4317983/7b5ae9fe8028127a> [image: Interesting Image]<https://iw108.infusionsoft.com/app/linkClick/10729/f7c5557d92eedf0b/4317983/7b5ae9fe8028127a> Programs [image: The Personal Paleo Code]<https://iw108.infusionsoft.com/app/linkClick/10731/de2393cda932eaf8/4317983/7b5ae9fe8028127a> [image: The Healthy Baby Code]<https://iw108.infusionsoft.com/app/linkClick/10733/394b4e85e746b5d5/4317983/7b5ae9fe8028127a> [image: Paleo Meal Plan Generator]<https://iw108.infusionsoft.com/app/linkClick/10735/512f9c3777c67525/4317983/7b5ae9fe8028127a> [image: Interesting Image]<https://iw108.infusionsoft.com/app/linkClick/10737/60cc7b783d777afc/4317983/7b5ae9fe8028127a> [image: Need Help?]<https://iw108.infusionsoft.com/app/linkClick/10717/e6690d21c0202b49/4317983/7b5ae9fe8028127a> If you no longer wish to receive our emails, click the link below: Unsubscribe<https://iw108.infusionsoft.com/app/linkClick/10719/82577fde2874597f/4317983/7b5ae9fe8028127a> Chris Kresser L.Ac 2414 Ashby Avenue Suite 201 Berkeley, California 94705 United States (510) 323-2503 -- *June Kamerling Pilates, personal trainer, massage therapist* *El Cerrito Fitness Pilates and Personal Training* *10833 San Pablo Avenue* *El Cerrito, CA 94530* *510-604-5732* *www.elcerritofitness.com* <http://www.elcerritofitness.com/> *Check us out on Facebook...*
