In our daily lives, the topic of diet is always varied; for instance, some people believe that red meat is harmful to health, while others strongly advocate for the benefits of eating fish. To make this information easier to understand and to make the popular science content more vivid and interesting, I will use a fictional story to help everyone gain a deeper understanding of these viewpoints.
Every week, Uncle Li goes to the vegetable market to select fresh pork tenderloin. He believes that lean meat is healthier and lower in fat, thus more beneficial for health.
However, one leisurely afternoon, he saw on television that the health index of people who eat fatty meat is more than 15 times that of those who eat lean meat. He began to doubt whether his years of adhering to this diet habit were truly correct. This statement in the report made him very uneasy, and he started to think if his choices over the years were all wrong.

Deciding to seek professional advice, Uncle Li went to the hospital the next day and found an expert. He inquired in detail about the effects of fatty meat and lean meat, hoping to get answers from a medical perspective. After listening to his questions, the doctor smiled and explained it to him from a scientific point of view.
The doctor pointed out that fatty meat does indeed contain a higher level of saturated fat, but an appropriate amount of saturated fat is not entirely harmful to health. They can provide energy and help absorb certain essential vitamins. The key issue lies in the word “appropriate.”
Excessive intake of saturated fat can indeed lead to health issues such as heart disease, but it is too hasty to judge one’s overall health based solely on this factor.
The doctor provided Uncle Li with comprehensive dietary advice, emphasizing the importance of a balanced diet. He suggested that Uncle Li does not need to completely avoid fatty meat but should control its quantity and pair it with plenty of vegetables, whole grains, and high-quality proteins like fish and chicken breast.
