Absolutely! White meats such as Turkey and Chicken have less saturated fat and cholesterol. The biggest concern with consuming too much red meat is the cholesterol level. Although, white meats are easier to digest, have less calories, and less fat; they are generally a more healthy choice.

yes..white meat is more healthier than red meat..because red meat e,g. beef, lamb, pork are containing more saturated fat than white meat e.g. chicken, fish, shrimp....

Answer 6

The answer to this question would really be no. It really all depends on how you prepare the meat. Anything fried can be unhealthy for any person. Any meat that is cooked, baked or broiled is usually a lot healthier. So, it is really all a matter of opinion...there is no scientific proof that one is healthier than the other.

There are many articles saying one is better, etc.  

Read for yourself and be the judge.

"Chicken and fish traditionally have been considered healthier than red meat because many cuts of red meat can have too much saturated fat," says Peter O. Kwiterovich, M.D., director of The Johns Hopkins University Lipid Clinic. "Now, lean cuts of red meat are readily available to consumers. If you follow a heart-healthy diet, it doesn't make a difference whether you eat red meat or white meat, as long as you choose lean cuts."
