Can “lean” meats cause heart problems?
Adnama asked:
My 19 year old best friend has a high risk of heart disease in his family and has already had heart surgery to repair a leaking valve. He thinks eating only “lean” meats is a healthy way to avoid heart problems and reach an appropriate amount of protein for his height and weight. He knows I’m a vegetarian and he respects that so I try to return the favor by not pushing my ideals on him but I’m kind of concerned. Can “lean” meats still cause heart problems or has he really done his homework?
