C...I prefer my jerky not heat dried but air dried:<br /><br />Cut strips about 3/4" square with the grain. Season to taste. Cut an opening into the top of a cardboard box and hang the strips from an oven rack placed over the opening. Make an opening on one of the sides of the box for a small fan - a computer fan works well - and turn it on. Place the box anywhere convenient with a room temperature between 60F and 80F. After 2 to 4 days the jerky or biltong is ready. Cut into .5 to 1" pieces before eating. It will last several weeks. It tastes much more like real meat than the oven dried stuff. I like just a bit of salt for seasoning.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14293606153613882925noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8859456735165996893.post-16108954602108308772013-04-14T12:05:48.999-07:002013-04-14T12:05:48.999-07:00Hi Ned.

Regarding the purported negative effects of red meat, I am completely unconvinced, as you can see here:<br /><br /> http://healthcorrelator.blogspot.com/search?q=red+meat+mortality<br /><br /> This new study links TMAO with atherosclerosis, but TMAO seems to counter a negative health effect associated with destabilization of proteins:<br /><br /> http://pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.1021/ja004206b<br /><br /> Whenever I see a study suggesting that a protective compound (let us call it P) is associated with disease (D), I tend to always consider the possibility of reverse causation. <br /><br /> That is, instead of P > D, we may have D > P. The more you have disease (D), the more you also have of the protective compound (P), to counter the disease.Ned Kockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02755560885749335053noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8859456735165996893.post-47944821933076347452013-04-08T13:44:53.502-07:002013-04-08T13:44:53.502-07:00http://www.cleveland.com/healthfit/index.ssf/2013/...http://www.cleveland.com/healthfit/index.ssf/2013/04/compound_in_red_meat_energy_dr.html<br /><br />"What this suggests is that maybe there really is a major mechanism associated with red meat consumption that's associated with cardiac risk factors independent of effects on blood cholesterol. Based on this data it makes sense to eat red meat in moderation at most even if your cholesterol is well-controlled."<br /><br />While the connection between a diet high in red meat and heart disease is well established, the association can't be entirely explained by the amount of cholesterol and fat in the foods, Rader and Hazen explained.<br /><br />"The risk of heart disease is disproportionately high to the amount of cholesterol and saturated fat in the meat," said Hazen.<br /><br />Carnitine seems to account for some of that unexplained risk, he said.<br /><br />In this most recent study, published April 7 in Nature, Hazen's group tested the carnitine and TMAO levels of omnivores, vegetarians and vegans to see if there were differences in the levels of the two substances due to diet. <br /><br />They also took blood samples to test for carnitine and TMAO from more than 2,500 patients undergoing elective heart evaluations, and examined the effects of a carnitine-heavy diet on mice.<br /><br />One of the study's biggest surprises, Hazen said, was how large an impact vegan and vegetarian diets had on the formation of TMAO from carnitine; people in the study who did not habitually eat red meat did not produce the plaque-forming TMAO even when they were given large doses of carnitine in the form of a steak or a supplement.<br /><br />Yet even those who eschew red meat may not be immune to the effects of carnitine, Hazen warned, because of the substance's frequent use as an energy-boosting supplement.<br /><br />"It's everywhere," he said. "The amount of carnitine in many energy drinks is equivalent to a porterhouse steak, or more. Especially if you're talking about kids who are being targeted with all this advertising, drinking these drinks is like eating steaks every day and they're getting it in a can and don't even realize it."<br /><br />While it's going to take a lot more research to be sure what the long-term effects of supplemental carnitine intake might be, Hazen is concerned.<br /><br />"It's shifting their [gut] flora to one that's more likely to promote atherosclerosis or hardening of the arteries," he said. "I wouldn't want my family members drinking these."<br /><br />"I do think that's a second source of carnitine in the diet that people aren't aware of and don't think of being deleterious," Rader said. "This suggests that if you're a habitual consumer of supplemental carnitine you may being putting yourself at higher cardiovascular risk."<br /><br />Eating a lot of red meat can cause heart disease | Health | News | Daily Express<br /><br />A very small amount of red meat such as beef, pork or lamb, may be beneficial. But the latest study, carried out at Cleveland Clinic in Ohio, concluded high consumption of red meat can be dangerous.<br /><br />Dr Stanley Hazen, head of cardiovascular medicine at the clinic, said: “Discovery of a link between L-carnitine ingestion, gut microbiota metabolism and cardiovascular disease risk has broad health-related implications.”<br /><br />The study found vegetarians and vegans had a lower ability to metabolise L-carnitine. They had lower levels of certain types of gut bacteria, suggesting that eating red meat encourages the growth of bacteria which use L-carnitine as an energy source.<br /><br />The results point to L-carnitine, rather than saturated fat and cholesterol, as the link between red meat and cardiovascular disease.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10709553155869979806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8859456735165996893.post-45296329821964583512013-04-08T13:44:31.255-07:002013-04-08T13:44:31.255-07:00What is your opinion of this
http://www.scienceda...What is your opinion of this<br /><br />http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2013/04/130407133320.htm<br /><br />"A compound abundant in red meat and added as a supplement to popular energy drinks has been found to promote atherosclerosis -- or the hardening or clogging of the arteries -- according to Cleveland Clinic research published online this week in the journal Nature Medicine.<br /><br />The study shows that bacteria living in the human digestive tract metabolize the compound carnitine, turning it into trimethylamine-N-oxide (TMAO), a metabolite the researchers previously linked in a 2011 study to the promotion of atherosclerosis in humans. Further, the research finds that a diet high in carnitine promotes the growth of the bacteria that metabolize carnitine, compounding the problem by producing even more of the artery-clogging TMAO.<br /><br />Prior research has shown that a diet with frequent red meat consumption is associated with increased cardiovascular disease risk, but that the cholesterol and saturated fat content in red meat does not appear to be enough to explain the increased cardiovascular risks. This discrepancy has been attributed to genetic differences, a high salt diet that is often associated with red meat consumption, and even possibly the cooking process, among other explanations. But Hazen says this new research suggests a new connection between red meat and cardiovascular disease.<br /><br />"This process is different in everyone, depending on the gut microbe metabolism of the individual," he says. "Carnitine metabolism suggests a new way to help explain why a diet rich in red meat promotes atherosclerosis."<br /><br />While carnitine is naturally occurring in red meats, including beef, venison, lamb, mutton, duck, and pork, it's also a dietary supplement available in pill form and a common ingredient in energy drinks. With this new research in mind, Hazen cautions that more research needs to be done to examine the safety of chronic carnitine supplementation.<br /><br />"Carnitine is not an essential nutrient; our body naturally produces all we need," he says. "We need to examine the safety of chronically consuming carnitine supplements as we've shown that, under some conditions, it can foster the growth of bacteria that produce TMAO and potentially clog arteries."<br /><br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10709553155869979806noreply@blogger.com
