RESPONSE: European Commission Backs “Become a Beefatarian” Campaign

25/11/2020  |   Media centre

This campaign is utterly delusional. It has been proven time and time again that red meat, such as beef, is linked to heart disease, diabetes, and cancer, due to its high level of saturated fats, cholesterol, and salt.

Omega-3 fats – all you need to know

Omega-3 fats – all you need to know

08/06/2020  |   Health articles

Most people know that saturated fats, like those found in meat, cheese, butter, pies and biscuits, are ‘bad’ and unsaturated fats, in nuts and seeds, are ‘good’. But are some of the good ones better than others and where can we find them?

Tuna fish

Fish is not a health food

08/06/2020  |   Health articles
