UK researchers find link between regular meat intake and nine non-cancerous illnesses
Eating meat regularly increases someone’s risk of developing heart disease, diabetes, pneumonia and other serious illnesses, new research has found.
It is already known that intake of red and processed meat heightens the risk of being diagnosed with bowel cancer. But these findings are the first to assess whether meat consumption is linked to any of the 25 non-cancerous illnesses that most commonly lead to people being admitted to hospital in the UK.
