Red Meat
Meat, especially red meat, is said to have destructive effects on the colon. Red meat has high amount of saturated fats, which ultimately results in the development of colon cancer in those who eat meat regularly. There are almost 50% more chances of the development of colon cancer in meat-eaters in comparison with vegetarians. Fat-enriched red meat puts an extra load on the digestive system and slows down the whole process of digestion. The slow digestion results in incomplete digestion leading to constipation. The processed red meat products like sausages and hot dogs are even higher in fat and nitrate content, thus increasing the risk of colon cancer.
