24、 A latest study on people who eat red meat has found they have higher risks of heart disease and early death. The finding goes against other recent research that suggested removing meat from one's diet has few health benefits. The two opposing findings can make it difficult for people to make sense of what can seem to be conflicting messages on food.
Duane Mellor, a dietician at Aston University, and other researchers say that after examining research on the subject, moderation may be the best way forward. “In this case, eating a certain amount of meat, including red meat, is likely to be safe,” Mellor said. “However, in the interest of health, reducing meat intake to the recommended less than 70 grams per day would be sensible.”
A researcher with ties to the meat industry published a report on the subject in 2019, saying that people should not reduce the amount of red meat they eat. Some experts criticized the findings because they were in conflict with dietary advice from international agencies.
The latest study found that eating two servings a week of red meat or processed meat was linked to a 3% to 7% higher risk of heart disease and also a 3% higher risk of all causes of death. Norrina Allen, a co-leader of the latest study, said the health risk is small but people should try to change their diet. “It's a small difference, but it's worth trying to reduce red meat and processed meat.” She added that eating red meat is also regularly “linked to other health problems like cancer.”
The World Cancer Research Fund says red and processed meat may cause cancer. It recommends eating red meat with an upper limit of 500 grams cooked weight per week-and “little, if any” processed meat. They said on average, adults should reduce the amount of meat they eat by 50% and they should eat twice as much nuts, fruits, vegetables and beans.
【1】What does the latest study suggest?
A．People should not cut down on the amount of red meat they eat.
B．People should remove meat from their diet for the benefit of health.
C．Eating red meat is linked to higher risks of heart disease and early death.
D．Eating two servings a week of red meat or processed meat has no health risks.
【2】What does the underlined word “moderation” in the second paragraph mean?
A．Doing research by oneself.
B．Following one's own heart.
C．Avoiding conflicts with others.
D．Staying within reasonable limits.
【3】What does Norrina Allen think of her latest finding?
A．It will help improve our eating habit.
B．It is in conflict with her former study.
C．It has offered two regular cures for cancer.
D．It makes no difference to the meat industry.
【4】What is the last paragraph mainly about?
A．Some tips on cooking.
