High protein diet has the same risk of cancer as smoking

Middle aged people had better not eat too much animal protein, so as not to affect health A new study shows that middle-aged people who use a high animal protein diet are more likely to die of cancer than those who use a low animal protein diet, and the risk of cancer death increases by the same amount as regular smokers However, researchers say that for more than 65 Elderly people, if they can eat protein in moderation, it will help to protect the body, make the body less vulnerable and better for health Researchers from the University of Southern California, USA, who have studied more than 6000 adults over 50 for 18 years, have found that people aged 50 to 65 who consume a large amount of animal protein in middle age will have a four times higher risk of dying of cancer later than those who adopt a low protein diet The study, published in the latest issue of the Journal of cell metabolism, said that some people like to eat a high protein, low sugar diet, and want to lose some weight by this way, but it may affect the length of life, not the overall health Those who are used to smoking are four times more likely to die of cancer than non-smokers, and those who eat high protein foods are just as likely to die of cancer Regular intake of animal protein by middle-aged people will not only increase the risk of cancer death, but also increase the overall risk of death The researchers found that once middle-aged people eat a large amount of animal protein food, such as meat, milk, cheese, the total risk of death was about 74% higher than that of low animal protein diet The researchers explained that at least 20% of the total calorie intake in a day comes from protein, which is a high protein diet; 10% to 19% of the total calorie intake is moderate, and less than 10% is a low protein diet The researchers pointed out that the low animal protein diet is not good for all people In fact, the moderate intake of protein is good for the elderly It can not only maintain the healthy weight of the elderly, but also avoid being too fragile Therefore, the elderly should take enough egg white to be healthy.
