A recent health study reiterates the differing health attributes of red meat and processed meat, from alternative proteins such as nuts and how grains.  As the study states:

A daily 100-gram serving of unprocessed red meat may increase the risk of developing type 2 diabetes by 19%, while just 50 grams of processed red meat – for example one hot dog, a sausage, or two slices of bacon – is associated with a 51% increased risk of diabetes, according to research from the Harvard School of Public Health.  The authors, led by An Pan from Harvard, added that replacing red meat with healthier proteins, such as low-fat dairy, nuts, or whole grains, can significantly lower the risk.

The researcher in this study suggests that this data be used to determine guidelines that distinguish red meat from other protiens such as nuts, that promote a healthy lifestyle.

The Dietary Guidelines for Americans 2010 edition was recently issued, bearing valuable advice for all.  As we well know, those who stick to a balanced diet and regimented exercise habit maintain their weight, reduce their risk of chronic illness, and enjoy overall health.  This guide is useful in mapping out those strategies and finding ways to stick to them.

The two persistent bits of advice throughout the Dietary Guidelines are:

- Stick to a balanced calorie intake to achieve and maintain a healthy weight

- Consume Nutrient Dense Foods and Beverages, and do not waste calories on fats, added sugars and refined grains.

The guide goes on further to recommend which foods to reduce, as well as which to seek out: The less sodium, saturated fatty acids, dietary cholesterol, solid fats and sugars, refine grains, and alcohol consumed, the better; the more dark green vegetables, fruits, whole grains, fat free or low-fat dairy products, proteins, and instances of seafood in place of meat, oil in place of solid fats, potassium, calcium and vitamin D, the better.  Of course, all of the above are only beneficial when in moderation.
