The bad news about beef and other red meat keeps on coming.
If you overdo it, you can get colon cancer.
If you undercook it, especially when it is ground for hamburgers, there's a good chance you won't kill all of the harmful bacteria in it, according to Consumer Reports magazine.
Cook ground meat to at least medium (an internal temperature of 160 degrees Farenheit).
My policy is to avoid the stuff altogether, relying on wild-caught seafood, cage-free eggs, tofu, organic whole-wheat pasta, salads and other heart- and brain-healthy food.
