Studies have shown that eating red meat often has a high risk of far-end colon cancer

women who regularly eat red meat have a higher risk of developing far-end colon cancer, according to a study by the University of Leeds in the UK. The findings appear in the latest issue
.
study involved 32,147 British women. According to the daily eating habits, the study participants were divided into four groups: the first group often ate red meat, the largest number of people, up to 65%, the second group like to eat poultry meat, the number of people accounted for 3%, the third group love to eat fish meat, 13%, the fourth group love to eat vegetables, the number of 19%. During the 17 years of follow-up, there were 335 cases of colon cancer in the study subjects, 119 of which were far-end colon cancer. The far colon is located at the end of the colon and is a storage area for feces. The researchers found that 10 people in the vegetable-loving group had the lowest risk of colon cancer, while 10 subjects who ate red meat had a higher risk of developing far-end colon cancer.
the new findings will help women better manage their personal health, especially those with a family history of colon cancer, Newsweek reported, citing researchers.
researchers said the study had limitations, with younger women who ate poultry and fish and a higher body mass index, which could affect colon cancer risk.
years ago, some studies showed that red meat was associated with colon cancer risk. This association can be due to a number of factors, including chemicals produced during high-temperature cooking of red meat, preservatives used in processed meat, etc. (Source: Xinhua News Agency, Huang Min)
