Human risk of diseases associated with red meat intake: Analysis of current theories and proposed role for metabolic incorporation of a non-human sialic acid
F Alisson-Silva, K Kawanishi, A Varki - Molecular aspects of medicine, 2016 - Elsevier
One of the most consistent epidemiological associations between diet and human disease
risk is the impact of red meat consumption (beef, pork, and lamb, particularly in processed
forms). While risk estimates vary, associations are reported with all-cause mortality,
colorectal and other carcinomas, atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, type II diabetes,
and possibly other inflammatory processes. There are many proposed explanations for
these associations, some long discussed in the literature. Attempts to explain the effects of …
