GO EASY ON MEAT AND DAIRY PRODUCTS.

.

Many studies have confirmed that the higher your intake of meat and other animal products, the higher your risk of heart disease and cancer, especially for the major cancers like colon, breast, prostate, and lung cancer.

Meat does not contain antioxidants and phytochemicals that protect us from cancer. But it does contain lots of saturated fat and other potentially carcinogenic (cancer - causing) compounds, including pesticide residues, heterocyclic amines, and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, which may form when meat is grilled, fried, or broiled.
