Has always had the perception that the intake of meat at the expense of a diet where vegetables and fruits prevail is more harmful to our health, having a latest survey by the National Cancer Institute of the United States which confirms these theories.

Well with the data of some 500,000 people aged between 50 and 71 years and over a period of more than 10 years, researchers have found that eating red meat or processed meat is bad for our health because it increases the risk of death either because of problems involving the heart or the risk of developing any cancer.

And the fact is that reducing the consumption of meat is a rich source of saturated fats to help reduce low levels between 11% and 16% deaths in men and women respectively and should preferably consume as meat researchers opt for the so-called white meats are those that present less risk to our health.
