    William Kormas, an editor for Harvard Men’s Health Watch, promotes a moderation consumption of red meat because there are studies that show that red meat is often linked to heart disease and cancer. Thus, sticking to a moderate red meat and vegetable diet is a safe and healthy alternative to a heavily red meat depended diet.
