Tag: Chicken vs red meat

In a recent study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, researchers found that both red meat and white meat increased levels of 'bad' LDL cholesterol compared to a non-meat, plant-based diet. This finding adds complexity to the long-standing debate: is chicken or red meat worse for you?

The American Heart Association notes that red meat generally has more saturated fat than skinless chicken. This fact often prompts the question: is chicken better for your heart than red meat? Examining the nutritional differences, potential health risks, and cooking methods is key.
