In Kansas University, a study was conducted, according to which experts established that lovers of chicken meat are at greater risk of developing cancer. As scientists learned, chicken meat in large quantities is very harmful to the human body, because it can provoke some types of cancers.
The study was based on data that almost every American is not able to refuse a portion of a grilled chicken or a serving of bacon. The conducted studies provided irrefutable evidence that such food, if consumed often and in large numbers will cause a malignant tumor.
It has long been known that all meat products contain carcinogenic compounds to a greater or lesser extent, it is these compounds that contribute to the development of a cancerous tumor. But in each product there is a concentration of carcinogens, so not all meat products are equally harmful to humans. As analyzes have shown, that in chicken skin and pork contains the most harmful to human health the amount of carcinogenic compounds.
In addition, heat treatment, especially in the open way, as cooked grilled chicken, shish kebab or barbecue, significantly increases the content of carcinogens in the product. As a result, the health hazard is significantly increased.
Specialists noted that frequent and excessive consumption of such products increases the likelihood of developing colon cancer, and women are at increased risk of developing breast cancer. It is for this reason, scientists are urging as little as possible to eat such foods, and grilled chicken before eating, cleanse from the skin. Also, scientists have established that many smoked products have a similar effect on the human body, so their consumption should also be limited.
Earlier studies by American researchers have shown that frequent consumption of red meat doubles the risk of developing diabetes. To such conclusions after the spent experiments the Singapore experts came and their conclusions are quite natural, as the inhabitants of Singapore (Filipinos, Indians, Chinese) consume mainly seafood, rice, fish.
According to the scientists' conclusions, regular consumption of red meat doubles the risk of developing type 2 diabetes. Also, researchers noted that if you reduce the consumption of such products, the chances of getting diabetes mellitus decrease by 15%.
In addition, scientists came to the conclusion that eating meat with certain diseases is life threatening. In particular, kidney failure is a contraindication to eating meat, since the body is not able to release phosphorus, which comes with animal proteins, and the excess of phosphorus in the body leads to heart attacks. Nutritionists recommend first of all to refuse fried meat products, and to replace pork and beef with poultry meat or rabbit.
