Reducing weekly meat intake by 30% leads to surprising results in colon cancer and heart disease

My husband really loves meat..

My son also likes meat...

Still, I try to eat it mostly with vegetables...

Whether it's pork belly or beef, I grill and eat it once a week...

Once or twice a month, I also eat bacon-wrapped rice balls...

 

Of course, the following paper presents the results of a study from the United States that consumes a lot of processed meats such as bacon.

It may be somewhat different from people in our country who consume less meat compared to the United States, but...

Still, it seems necessary to correct the increasingly Americanized eating habits these days...

 

Duck meat is in the order of beef < pork < chicken < duck meat.

They say that even if you pay for it yourself or buy beef for someone, they will eat it, but they shouldn't accept money for eating it, haha.

If someone buys me beef, it's the reality that I would love it so much... hahaha

 

Well, they say more research still needs to be done...

Just like the previous Mediterranean diet, it's best to increase fish and seafood intake.

It seems that reducing red meat intake is the right thing to do ^^

A simulation study has shown that reducing processed meat intake by just 30%, which is equivalent to 10 slices of bacon per week, could prevent over 350,000 cases of diabetes, 92,500 cases of heart disease, and 53,300 cases of colon cancer in the United States over a ten-year period.

This study, published in The Lancet Planetary Health by researchers from the University of Edinburgh in the UK and the University of North Carolina in the US, suggests that reducing breakfast to about one piece of bacon per day can achieve such effects.

According to a report by the health and medical webzine Health Day, reducing red meat consumption by 30%, or about a quarter of the weekly intake, can double the health benefits. The study found that this reduction could prevent over 1.1 million cases of diabetes, 382,400 cases of heart disease, and 84,400 cases of colon cancer. The researchers estimated that just a 30% reduction in red meat alone could prevent over 732,000 cases of diabetes, over 291,500 cases of heart disease, and 32,200 cases of colon cancer.

Lindsay Jacks, a professor at the University of Edinburgh and a member of the research team (Global Health Nutrition), pointed out that "reducing meat consumption is recommended by domestic and international organizations, including the UK's Climate Change Committee and the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), to reduce greenhouse gas emissions." He stated, "Our research found that such dietary changes could also provide significant health benefits in the United States," adding, "This is a win-win situation for both people and the planet."

Who would be the biggest beneficiaries of reducing meat consumption? The researchers stated that it would be white men with an annual income of $25,000 to $55,000.

The researchers used U.S. government health survey data to simulate the impact of reducing meat consumption on health. Other studies have linked high levels of processed meats in the diet to chronic diseases, but this is the first time that multiple health outcomes have been simultaneously analyzed, according to the researchers.

The researchers pointed out that reducing red meat can prevent more diseases than reducing processed meat, and they explained this fact easily. Americans consume 29 grams of processed meat and 47 grams of red meat per day, with red meat intake being nearly twice as high.

The researchers stated that since there is limited knowledge about how unprocessed red meat affects the risk of chronic diseases, their estimates should be interpreted with caution and that further research is needed.
