Let’s clear up some myths about meat. There’s a lot of confusing (and sometimes misleading) data out there. So what’s the truth?
When you’re looking at something like processed ham, remember: processed usually means added nitrates, high sodium, and preservatives to keep it fresh-looking and long-lasting. That’s not exactly the highest quality option.
A good approach is to keep portions reasonable, watch your intake frequency, and invest in higher-quality cuts.
You can still enjoy animal protein. Just do it thoughtfully.
