\nOnline Zoom Meeting<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Dear Colleagues:<\/p>\n

Greetings, and I hope that you and yours are healthy and safe in this socially-distanced time.<\/p>\n

As part of that distancing, we’re continuing the “Friday Lunch” as an online event. After over thirty-years of in-person discussions it’s a bit of an adjustment; but it has been good to see colleagues who have moved away and now can take advantage of the new format.<\/p>\n

Our topic for this week is really two topics. The first is something we\u2019ve heard about probably for all our lives: claims that eating much red meat is unhealthy. A year ago, the\u00a0Annals of Internal Medicine<\/em>\u00a0published five articles and an<\/span>\u00a0overview<\/span><\/a>\u00a0reviewing the evidence as to whether, as the authors put it, \u201cred and processed meat are bad for you.\u201d One of the articles was a guideline statement which concluded that\u00a0the evidence did not support recommendations that people change their dietary habits to reduce that meat consumption.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This got a bit of publicity.<\/strong><\/p>\n

So one question is whether this set of studies is convincing. What are, or seem to be, the health effects of red meat?<\/p>\n

But another question follows: what does this controversy tell us about the challenges of nutritional epidemiological research? How can the conventional wisdom about red meat be subject to such severe challenge? What kind of evidence is possible, and so how strong is the evidence about effects of various dietary choices? Are some questions easier to research than others?<\/p>\n

Please join us for a discussion before we all eat something else on Thanksgiving!<\/span><\/p>\n

Signing In<\/h3>\n

This semester’s discussions will begin at 12:30 p.m., the usual time. The meeting will be set up as from Noon to 2:00 p.m., so people are not all signing in at the same time and to allow for the discussion to run a bit long.\u00a0Each week we will send out this newsletter with information about the topic. It will also include a link to register (for free) for the discussion.<\/strong>\u00a0Every Monday the same information will be posted on our website:<\/span>\u00a0fridaylunch.case.edu<\/span><\/a>.<\/p>\n
