Results from a prospective analysis of dietary data for 37,698 men (22 years follow-up) and 83,644 women (28 years follow-up) has been published in Archives of Internal Medicine. Assessed individuals were free from cardiovascular disease (CVD) at baseline and regularly provided information on average intake. CVD-related mortality increased by ∼20% for every serving of red meat consumed per day (HR 1.18, 95% CI 1.13–1.23 for unprocessed red meat; HR 1.21, 95% CI 1.13–1.31 for processed red meat).
