What About Cancer?

Does Eating of Red Meat Cause It As Well?

There are no clear evidence that red meat causes cancer. However, there is a certain type of cancer that is induced by excessive consumption of red meat, colorectal cancer.

Colorectal cancer or Colon cancer is the growth of cancerous cells in the colon.

In fact a recent study of over 500,000 Americans who ate red meat over a period of 10 years revealed that they were more likely to die of cancer and heart disease sooner than those who ate smaller amounts.

Another study involving 72,000 women who ate high amounts of red meat who were followed over an 18 year period reveals that this group had an increased risk of heart disease, cancer and death from other causes.

Now the question is,

If Eating Red Meat Increases The Risk of Cancer, What Then Is The Cause of Cancer?

Just as I have stated earlier, scientists have not being able to pinpoint exactly what causes cancer from eating red meats.

However, presently, research and experiment is undergoing in the following areas which eating red meats causes

• Saturated fats in red meat is being studied, since this has been linked to colon and breast cancers as well as heart disease.

• Carcinogens which is released when meat is cooked is being studied as well.

• Heme Iron, a nutrient found in meat which may produce compounds that damage cells that leads to cancer is also under study.

If you have ever being diagnosed of High blood pressure, one of the advice given by doctors among many others to the new hypertensive patient is to minimize the intake of Red meat.

Africans generally love eating red meats. In Nigeria, the Yorubas and the Ibos are among the highest eaters of red meat and that is why a generous percentage of the population of people from these areas are fat.

Personally, I love eating red meat, until I became conscious of the health risks associated with it some few years back.

In today’s article, I shall be giving you information based on research and scientific data on the ill effects of eating red meats.

At the end of this article, you shall have an informed choice when it comes to eating red meat.

One question I found when I was researching on the topic of eating red meat is:

“Does Eating of Red Meat Increase The Risk of Cancer and Heart Disease?”

Studies have shown that red meats have a high amount of saturated fat, and this has the increased tendency to raise blood cholesterol. High levels of LDL cholesterol increases the risk of a heart disease.

LDL Cholesterol stand for Low Density Lipoprotein or bad cholesterol)
