The association between consumption of red and processed meats and cancer (particularly colorectal cancer and potentially lung, esophageal, stomach, pancreatic, and endometrial cancers), is very consistent, yet small amounts of red meat might provide nutrients such as B12, zinc and protein. Leanest cuts of beef eye round and bottom round; chuck shoulder steaks; filet mignon; flank steak; and arm roasts. It is recommended to not eat ground red meat that is less than 95% lean.

Comments
meat from a mature domestic sheep: The meat of an animal in its first year is lamb; that of an older sheep is hogget and later mutton. Lamb is a staple in Mediterranean diets, believed to be the world's healthiest diet because of its ability to lower the risk of cardiovascular disease. In Australia, where lamb is eaten frequently by both children and adults, recent studies have shown lamb to rank among the top omega-3 foods in the daily diet, especially if grass-fed. |
