Last weekend, I had the great opportunity to attend Paleo FX in Austin, TX. Similar to the Ancestral Health Symposium, held in August, Paleo FX was full of who’s who in the paleo world, from the all knowing and all powerful, Robb Wolf to Mark Sisson to Chris Kresser to Dr Jack Kruse to James…
Consumption of ALL Red Meat Leads to Premature Death?
The LA Times published this article today in which the headline reads: All Red Meat is Bad For You, New Study Says.
