“A new study finds that a diet rich in red meat and processed meats can lead to premature death.

The following is not a full transcript; for full story, listen to audio.

The study, which is the largest of its kind, came out recently in the Archives of Internal Medicine. For 10 years researchers tracked 500,000 people, ages 50-71, documenting what they ate over the course of that decade. The results find that people who consumed the equivalent of one hamburger a day increased their chances of dying by 30 percent.”
