A new study has suggested that people using a diet centered on fruits and vegetables to lower their cholesterol can be able to introduce lean beef and get similar results.

The findings are similar to those of past research that found red meat can be fine in moderation. The findings were published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition.

“It isn’t all that different from what people were saying,” said Dr. Elizabeth Jackson, assistant professor of medicine at the University of Michigan Health Systems, who was not involved in the study.

“It was very well done, and that is one of the things that are difficult with nutrition science,” said Jackson. “You could never do data like this on thousands of patients.”

“I think it’s really important that the public understands that and is not going to go hog-wild with beef,” said Joan Salge Blake, a clinical associate professor at Boston University’s Sargent College of Health and Rehabilitation Sciences and an Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics spokesperson.

“We just have to make sure that the portions stay lean and small, and that it’s a part of a heart-healthy diet,” Salge Blake told Reuters Health.
