For example, fish, which is thought to lower cardiovascular risk, also contains much lower levels of L-carnitine, as do chicken and milk, notes Dariush Mozaffarian, an epidemiologist at the Harvard School of Public Health in Boston who has studied meat and heart disease, in an e-mail.
In Springmann's study, meat tax revenues would be used to cover health costs, but they could equally be used to support farmers and butchers in making a shift away from meat, or to subsidize fruit and vegetables.
The study "Meat and fat intake and colorectal cancer risk: A pooled analysis of 14 prospective studies," by Eunyoung Cho, and Stephanie A. Smith-Warner for Harvard's Pooling Project of Prospect Studies of Diet and Cancer Investigators, was abstracted in 2004.

In addition, although meat quality traits had only moderate phenotypic correlations with growth or intake traits in our study, meat quality traits are known to have antagonistic relationships with feed efficiency traits [ 50].
