According to him, we are talking about red meat. In his Instagram, the specialist refers to research by the Dana-Farber Institute of Oncology in the USA.

In total, scientists analyzed DNA data from normal and tumor tissue samples of 900 patients with colorectal cancer. All participants provided information about their diet and lifestyle for several years before oncology.

The analysis showed the presence of DNA damage in both tumor and normal tissue. The lesions were much more common in people who ate a lot of red meat in any form. The consumption of poultry meat, fish and other factors related to lifestyle were not important.
