Big Beef Claims: Fact Checking with Dr. Neal Barnard and Lee Crosby, RD, LD
Fact check nutrition claims on the official beef website with Dr. Neal Barnard and dietitian Lee Crosby as they join "The Weight Loss Champion" Chuck Carroll on The Exam Room™! The website claims that beef is part of a heart healthy diet. What evidence is there to support the claim? What does independent research show? The website also claims that beef is an essential food for babies. Do they need it to grow up big and strong or is red meat laying the foundation for heart disease later in life? Dr. Barnard and Lee have a mountain of research all leading to an undeniable conclusion. Additionally, the website states that eating beef can improve cholesterol levels. How could such a claim be made when there is decades of independent research pointing in the opposite direction? The group dissects those statements to see whether they hold any merit! And of course protein, protein, protein! — — — Heart Health Immersion Register: https://bit.ly/HeartImmersion — — — Chuck Carroll IG: @ChuckCarrollWLC Twitter: @ChuckCarrollWLC Facebook: https://wghtloss.cc/ChuckFacebook — — — Dr. Neal Barnard Twitter: @drnealbarnard IG: @drnealbarnard Facebook: http://bit.ly/DrBarnardFB — — — Lee Crosby Twitter: @Veggie_Quest IG: @leeatveggiequest Web: https://veggie-quest.com — — — Barnard Medical Center Telemedicine Schedule Appointment https://bit.ly/BMCtelemed 202-527-7500 — — — Physicians Committee Twitter: @PCRM IG: @PhysiciansCommittee Facebook: https://wghtloss.cc/PCRMFacebook YouTube: https://bit.ly/PCRMYouTube — — — Share the Show Please subscribe and give the show a 5-star rating on Apple Podcasts, Spotify or many other podcast providers.

Can a person be both healthy and overweight? "The Weight Loss Champion" Chuck Carroll is joined by Dr. Yami Cazorla-Lancaster to discuss the Healthy At Every Size movement.

Dr. Yami also addresses the misconception that children can eat whatever they want without penalty. She explains the steep price that can be paid later in life for the high-fat and high-calorie foods eaten during our formative years.
