2. Red Meat
A diet high in red meat may increase a person's risk of developing certain cancers. Moderate consumption of red meat or eliminating it altogether, may reduce the risk of certain cancers. Red meat is classified as a Group 2A carcinogen, which means it's probably carcinogenic in humans.1‘Cancer: Carcinogenicity of the Consumption of Red Meat and Processed Meat.’ World Health Organization, World Health Organization, www.who.int/news-room/q-a-detail/cancer-carcinogenicity-of-the-consumption-of-red-meat-and-processed-meat.”
Individuals may want to consider replacing red meat with fresh organic fish, free-range chicken or plant-based foods. Red meats include goat, beef, pork, lamb, horse, veal and other meats derived from the muscles of mammals.
