Recent scientific studies show that a person will increase their risk of Heart Disease when eating processed instead of red meat. The study was all over the world with about 1 million participants, and the result was that when eating processed meat, a person increases their chances of Heart Disease by 42% and Diabetes by 19%. The study also showed that these impacts are not carried on by red meat, or also known as unprocessed meat. The study also found that the two types of meat have the same saturated fat and cholesterol amount, but processed meat had four time as much salt as unprocessed meat. As opposed to what was said earlier, scientist are still encouraging eating meat, because they say that the results are not strong enough to have people stop eating meat. I found this article to be very interesting, because I found out that the regular meat that I eat can potentially hurt me. I will not refrain from eating meat, but i will definitely will watch how much I eat, this article helped me watch my health even more.
