Be careful if you often eat red meat (beef). A study in the United States explains that too often people consume red meat and processed meat have a higher risk of cancer is affected.

Latest study shows the relationship between meat and stomach cancer. In the research also stated that too many people who eat meat have a high risk exposure esophageal and liver cancer. Whereas for men, consuming too much meat is also a higher risk of pancreas cancer is exposed.

“Reducing consumption of meat and processed meat could reduce the risk of cancer fell ill,” said Dr Amanda Cross and colleagues at the U.S. National Cancer Institute in a text published in the journal Public Library of Science PLoS Medicine.

Research using the 500,000 people with age ranging between 50 to 71 years is also related to a study conducted by AARP (American Association for Retired Persons). Please note also that during the last eight years there have been 53,396 cases of cancer diagnosed by the team.

“Statistically, about 20 to 60 percent of people who fell ill esophageal cancer, colorectal, liver, and stomach is people who have high consumption of meat (beef),”

Own red meat at this time known as beef, pork, and meat sheep. While the meat is processed, including meat sausage and hot dogs.

“Meat can cause cancer and some researchers to record the source of fat substances and iron have the freedom to join the carcinogenesis,” the researchers write.

Source of meat also do some chemical substances known to cause DNA mutation, including the component of N-nitroso (NOCs), amino heterocyclic (HCAs) and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAHs).

Jeanine G from Georgetown University in Washington and Anita K from the University of Montreal said the findings are also supported by other research.

“Relations between meat with cancer risk has been reported in more than 100 studies of the epidemic in several countries related to serving food,” they write in a comment.
