BURGERS can be part of a healthy diet – and so can cheese, researchers say.
It gives the all-clear for us to enjoy a cheeseburger during the BBQ season – especially if we have it with a fresh salad.
Previous studies have linked processed meat – such as bacon, sausages and salami – to cancers, heart disease and type two diabetes.
But the latest research suggests modest amounts of unprocessed red meat and full-fat dairy have no bearing on health – as long as your diet is good.
The findings are from a Canadian study comparing diets, as well as rates of early deaths, strokes and heart disease, in 80 countries.
