Too Much Red or Processed Meat
According to the International Agency for Research on Cancer, the World Health Organization (WHO) cancer agency, processed meat is “carcinogenic to humans.” The IARC also found that red meat was primarily associated with an increased risk of colorectal cancer, and associated with pancreatic and prostate cancers.
Reducing your consumption of red meat to less than two portions per week can significantly lower the risk. A typical food plate should consist of 50 per cent vegetables and fruit, 25 percent lean protein, and 25 whole grains.
