Fitness Lessons I Learned From Charlie Francis

This is part of a large body of scientific work showing a clear link between processed meat and cancer:

There is a large number of citations with similar conclusions, and also regarding salt. There is also a strong link between grilled beef and colon cancer.

I suspect that Charlie’s point about beef intake once a week was concerning iron uptake. However, if you are studying nutrition and you don’t understand the link between beef/meat intake and a number of different cancers, there seems to be something wrong with what you are being taught. I can understand a single class not getting into the links between diet and cancer and heart disease, but someone studying for a degree in nutrition should know this.

Also, when you talk to “world renown professors” who do tons of lab work, you have to ask who is funding their research. As more more evidence has come out with the specific links between beef and cancer, and also about the supposed advantages of dietary fruits and vegetables NOT having ANY effect on cancer (and multiple large cohort studies show this which have been published in JAMA and elsewhere), I have noticed a number of instances of “political” science. Nevertheless, the party line previously promoted by nutritionists and the beef industry has been shown to be wrong by the medical profession.

And, yes, John Smith does prohibit music (and ipods, cell phones) during workouts. Your attention is supposed to be on the training, not on tuning out.

Yes, I agree with your post because you are talking about processed meat.
