Risk Of Kidney Cancer Increases With Red Meat Consumption

red meat lovers, beware! Large U.S. study found that those who eat large amounts of red meat may have an increased risk of kidney cancer.

While earlier research in this area produced mixed findings, the current study worked to clear up the image, using data on nearly half a million U.S. adults over 50 who has taken on what they ate on a regular basis, including meat intake, and then followed for about nine years to see if the cancer is diagnosed.

On average, male participants ate 2-3 (57-85g) ounces of red meat a day, the women ate less equivalent to 28-57 grams per day

during the study period, 1,800 were diagnosed with kidney cancer. Those who had the highest intake of meat (4 ounces per day) were 19% more likely to get kidney cancer diagnosis compared with those who ate less than 1 gram per day. This number held even after taking into account other dietary and life factors (age, ethnicity, fruit and veggie intake, smoking, drinking alcohol, high blood pressure, diabetes) that could affect the risk of cancer.

Those who eat their meat is the most well-done (getting the greatest exposure to chemicals that are known to be part of the grill and / or grilled meat) is also a risk of kidney cancer compared with those who did not cook their meat as this.

When the team is considered the most common form of kidney cancer, as they saw that the association was stronger for papillary carcinoma, and there was no clear effect on kidney cancer.

According to the American Cancer Society data, more than 50,000 people received a diagnosis of kidney cancer last year, but more than 200,000 kidney cancer survivors are living beyond their diagnosis.

We know that red meat is the main source of iron and protein, and you should not stop eating because you've heard of red meat and some forms of cancer.

Experts advise that you eat a small amount of red and / or processed meat, and also the most healthy diet. U.S. dietary guidelines suggest just that - reducing high-fat foods and eat more lean meat, poultry, fish and nuts

The most recent study of kidney cancer and red meat is far from proving the causes and consequences. Nobody knows what causes this form of cancer, or what keeps it from attack. Some people who eat sufficient amounts of red meat, cooked well, not cancer, while other people may never touch red meat will.

function for cancer more complicated than we understand today. Far more research will be done before a doctor will tell you to do more than follow the dietary guidelines when it comes to red meat intake.

most commonly available types of red meat available as beef, lamb and veal, and when you have many choices of nutrients, red meat is high in fat (which can be trimmed, mind you) and you can lose a lot of nutritional value depending on how to cook. Baking or roasting (instead of grilling, grill) is currently considered to be preferred cooking method for these meats, as these methods reduce the risk of kidney cancer.
