Eating BEEF increases your risk of colon cancer? | Dr Pal

Studies show that when you cook beef at high temperatures carcinogenic compounds like polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and heterocyclic amines are produced. This can cause DNA damage and could potentially lead to colon cancer.

100 grams of red meat per day increased the risk of colon cancer by 17%. Given this possible risk, I recommend eating once every couple of weeks. The risk is also because beef has no fiber, eat your beef with lots of vegetables.

I stopped eating food,
Every afternoon stand in a flower pot and absorb sunlight and do my own photosynthesis

A colleague of mine was a pure vegetarian and she died of colon cancer in her 30’s

Regarding the high temperature!

Its not applicable to only beef, it's applicable to other meat too! Beware when you have your chicken barbecue!

[shreddathomeJoCR]

Beef is an excellent source of essential nutrients. It's one of the best meats I'd say.

Statistics: high speed driving is one of the major cause of accidents

All carnivore experts are not agreeing 😂

I might as well just not eat anything ever again at this point 💀

My aunt’s Granny ate beef (Fresh cut & Dry aged) almost 5 times a week and she lived without any issue for 92 years … Dr Pal My entire Village people grew up on Beef As we get it for lower cost to fulfil our protein needs,

I have not heard anyone having issues with their colon neither to do with their Gut health, most of the seniors over 60-65 years are still working in fields and living Healthy ❤

Red Meat is economically the best source of all needs for a Human Body (Do a regular workout)

Cant agree really. A friend of mine eats bacon eggs for breakfast daily despite the fact he had a pacemaker. He walked 3km a day. He passed on at 95 years and lived his life to the fullest.

Every carnivore diet influencer looks about 10 years younger than they’re actual age and are muscular while every vegan influencer looks 10 years older than they’re real age and looks like they can’t lift 20kg without hurting themselves.

A person named Saravana Kumar eating Beef 🤔

But there is another problem with this research. Most people who have 100 gm of red meat per day, most of their source is fast food so they are people who are used to eating junk food on regular basis. and not just junk food that has beef but other super unhealthy oily crap too. It is safe to assume the same people have other unhealthy habits too. The research you have shown was done is Turkey and Turkey has one of the highest obesity rate and 56% of them are over weight .Given all of that, can we really put all the blame on the 100 gm red meat ?

[wanjikumugaciku]

There are some Cultures that eat beef on a daily and milk like the Masaai from Kenya my land.Never seen such healthy people 😅

[The_Inquisitive_Indian]

Once you start enjoying steak, barbeque and tandoor, no amount of medical facts can convince to stop! These foods are simply awesome.

[realityoftheworld]

He is actually saying this for his religion.

[gerihuginn]

Sometimes we follow the weaker evidence that proves our beliefs because social pressure weighs more heavily

[mohammedkamilshaikh]

He talks about Proceased Red meat which is real problem.but the fresh fleshy nice yummy red meat from butcher shop is another type of joy 😢

[DarkSpace-dydx]

My great grandma lived until 98. No meat or eggs, she was completely fine, healthy, and no dementia.

[syedmuzamil]

The best part of your blogs are the two characters you bring.
Your dear friends Sharath kumar and Arokyaswamy is hilarious 😂

[samrajnatarajan]

hi doc - please correct me if you I am wrong. I beleive the poly cyclic and hetro cyclic hydrocarbon are not specific to beef only as mentioned here. Any meat cooked at high temperature oru esp barbecued meat can cause harm.
