Red And Processed Meat Endangers Health:
No big surprise here! A study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition found that as total red meat consumption increased, C-reactive protein (CRP, a biomarker of infections and diseases including heart disease and cancer), hemoglobin A1c (an indicator of diabetes risk), and stored iron (a mineral which in excess is associated with heart disease, cancer, and diabetes) also increased.
Weight and calorie intake also increased with increased intake of red and processed meat products.
