Digesting Red Meat, Chicken
Q: Mike, what's the deal with digesting red meat versus digesting chicken? Is it easier to digest and pass chicken, therefore making it healthier, or is this just urban myth?
A: Your system can digest lean chicken faster than red meat, but that doesn't necessarily make chicken healthier or unhealthier. Different foods simply take different amounts of time to digest. Some people have other health concerns about red meat, but I don't think that speed of digestion is a common one.
