translated from Spanish: Colon enemies: Red and processed meats are the biggest incidents in the development of colorectal cancer

Last year’s country holidays beat records. This was pointed out by a projection made by Faenacar where he estimated that per capita consumption of beef would reach about 29 kilos during the 2018. A risk-prone consumption.
For the World Health Organization (WHO), this type of meat is “probably carcinogenic”. However, a recent study by the University of Oxford and the International Agency for Cancer Research (which depends on WHO) highlighted the incidence of red meat consumption with the development of colon cancer.
The research carried out in England gathered the data of half a million adults, whose age comprised between 40 and 69 years. The country’s authorities indicate that maximum meat consumption should be of < 90 g/day, which the study "associated with an increased risk of developing colorectal cancer". "Our results suggest that people who eat red meat and processed four or more times a week have an increased risk of developing bowel cancer than those who eat red meat and processed less than twice a week," said the co-author of the Timothy Key Research. The high consumption of red meat is also associated with the possible development of cardiovascular diseases, such as cardiac infarct or the stroke of the brain, according to the nutritionist de Clínica Las condes, Fernando Carrasco. The study also argues that processed meat consumption – which is considered carcinogenic by WHO – results in an increased risk of colorectal cancer than the ingestion of red meat. Eating 25 grams a day of the first increases by 20% The exposure to develop this type of cancer, while consuming 50 grams a day of the second represents a 19% risk. Through research, scientists also argued that alcohol is also another factor to consider in colon cancer. On the other hand, chicken, fish, vegetables, fruits, tea and coffee would not have a direct relationship with the development of colorectal cancer, according to the study. The Chilean Society of Gastroenterology (SChGe) indicates that cancer to the colon is positioned as the most frequent digestive cancer in the country. It also reaches a third place among all the branches of this disease. Original source in Spanish
