Red meat is the richest food source of alpha-lipoic acid (ALA), which has been called the “universal,” “ideal,” and “ultimate” antioxidant. According to the UC Berkeley Wellness Letter, “What makes ALA special as an antioxidant is its versatility - it helps deactivate an unusually wide array of cell-damaging free radicals in many bodily systems.”
ALA also helps “recycle” vitamins C and E and other antioxidants, thus making them much more effective.
ALA is thought to be a powerful weapon in the fight against the oxidative stress we encounter as we age. The incidence of eye problems such as macular degeneration, cataracts and pterygium (a fleshy growth on the cornea that can impede vision) increase dramatically as we age due to free-radical damage from factors such as smoking, poor nutrition, and exposure to ultraviolet (UV) light.

Red meat must be taking in moderate consumptions. I believe they are saying that one that may have cancer genes should eat Pinapple after a meal with red meat due to the chemical you get from the breakdown fluid that your body produces. This fluid feed cancer cells. look it up there was just a huge articel in time magazine regarding cncer cells and red meat.
