VIDEO: New study says eating red meat increases risk of early death

Vegetarians have something to hold over their meat-eating friends.

A new study from Harvard University suggests that eating red meat — practically any amount — increases your risk of early death.

According to Harvard, 37,698 men were studied for up to 22 years and 83,644 women were followed for up to 28 years. They were all free of cardiovascular disease and cancer when the study began. A combined 23,926 deaths were documented in both studies — 5,910 from cardiovascular disease and 9,464 from cancer.
