Mainstream dietary recommendations now commonly advise people to minimize the intake of red meat for health and environmental reasons. Most recently, a major report issued by the EAT-Lancet Commission recommended a planetary reference diet mostly based on plants and with no or very low (14 g/d) consumption of red meat. We argue that claims about the health dangers of red meat are not only improbable in the light of our evolutionary history, they are far from being supported by robust scientific evidence.
主流饮食建议现在通常建议人们为了健康和环境原因，尽量减少红色肉类的摄入量。最近，EAT-柳叶刀委员会发布的一份主要报告建议了一种以植物为主的行星参考饮食，并且红色肉类的消费应不超过或非常低（每天 14 克）。我们认为，考虑到我们的进化历史，红色肉类对健康的危害的说法不仅不太可能，而且远没有得到强有力的科学证据的支持。
