• Resumen

  • The science isn't fully settled yet, but diets high in saturated fats--which are found plentifully in meat and dairy--have been shown to increase the risk of heart disease. Some of the compounds in red meat, and especially in cured meats, such as bacon and ham, also increase the risk of colon cancer. The American Institute for Cancer Research recommends eating no more than 500 grams of red meat per week, the equivalent of four hamburgers. Holmes looks at his diet and tells why vegetarianism may not be the best option.
