Red Meat should not be consumed

Red Meat
White Meat



            Vs.







Meat can be divided into two major groups which are red meat and white meat. Examples of red meat would be cow, horse while white meat would be chicken, rabbits, etc. There should be a decrease in the number of red meat consumption, but other white meat like chicken, rabbit can be consumed. Red meat such as cows provides us very helpful dairy products such as milk which produce yoghurt and many other goods. Cows also give birth to more cows which continue to increase amount of milk or on the other hand bulls help in agricultural areas in poor states where farmers can’t afford machines. Also, according to my religion, Hinduism, cows are sacred and cow dung can be use as natural antiseptic and in many more ways. Also, cow urine is an excellent germicide and kills variety of germs. All diseases that are caused by germs are thereby destroyed. The American Institute for Cancer Research and World Cancer Research Fund stated in their report "Food, Nutrition, Physical Activity, and the Prevention of Cancer: a Global Perspective" that there is "convincing" evidence that red meat intake increases the risk for colorectal cancer, and that there is "suggestive" evidence that it increases the risk of oesophageal, lung, pancreatic and endometrial cancer. Red meat intake has been associated with an increased risk (19-51%) of type II diabetes. Interventions in which red meat is removed from the diet can lower albuminuria levels (protein that is used for correct distribution of fluids). Replacing red meat with a low protein or chicken diet can improve glomerular filtration rate. Red meat consumption is associated with cardiovascular diseases, possibly because of its high content of saturated fat which raises blood cholesterol which can lead to these heart diseases. The best way to reduce health disorders is to not consume red meat but rather white meat which is much safer. The deaths of men and women in Brazil are mostly due to cardiovascular diseases and Brazil is one of the most red meat consuming countries.
