How Much Meat Consumption Safe For Not Trigger Cancer

Meat consumption is known to increase risk of colon cancer. But actually limits how big the meat so as not to trigger the onset of cancer?


The experts have revealed that eating too much red meat is associated with increased risk of colon cancer, and research from the Harvard School of Public Health again highlighted the health risks of meat consumption.


Based on data from the World Cancer Research Fund (WCRF) and American Institute for Cancer Research (AICR) recommend that a person is recommended to consume no more than 500 grams of cooked red meat or the equivalent of 750 grams of raw meat a week, as quoted from abcnews.net.au.



In this report is a red meat including beef, veal, lamb, mutton, buffalo meat and goat meat. Including but not because it includes white meat chicken.


For comparison the spaghetti bolognese ground beef for about 75 grams (about 110 grams of raw meat), steak medium 145 grams (about 220 grams of raw meat), roast beef 90 grams (about 1350 grams of raw meat). While 80 grams of cooked meat is equivalent to the size of a deck of cards.


While that for processed meats such as sausages, beef burgers, bacon or salami should also be avoided or reduced portions because the food has been through the process of adding salt or other food addictive substances.


In addition to the amount of meat, how does one cook is also an important factor. Cooking at high temperatures or burned as a barbecue can-create the chemicals that are known to be carcinogenic (causing cancer).


Another possible way is to eat lots of vegetables, grains, fruits that contain fiber, replacing meat with fish and poultry without the fat and add garlic to protect against colon cancer.


Reducing meat consumption is not the only factor preventing colon cancer, because there are other risk factors that could be a trigger such as:
A. Inactive or lazy to exercise
2. Excess body fat especially around the waist
3. Consuming alcohol
4. Aged over 50 years
5. No family history
6. Have inflammatory bowel conditions such as ulcerative colitis for many years.
