Beef is not good for health, it increases cancer risk

Beef plays a major role in the diet of Indians, and lean beef is known to be part of a healthy balanced diet. It is known to be rich in a wide variety of minerals and essential nutrients. 

Making the right choice of food is crucial to the general health and well-being of persons. While food helps you to remain healthy, exercise protect the body against illness. 

However, a recent report of World Health Organisation states that those eating beef regularly are more prone to cancer.

Here's why beef ban will help you escape cancer. 

Beef is devoid of any kind of fibre and other nutrients that help digestion by normalising bowel movements.

It contains saturated fats and carcinogenic compounds like polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) and heterocyclic amines (HCA). Both formed during the cooking are believed to increase cancer risk. 

High-fat content in beef increases hormone production leading to prostate and breast cancer. 

Grilling leads to the production of PAHs which is very much related to stomach cancer in humans. However, frying, which is more common in Kerala does not develop PAH. 

Beef contains saturated and total fat which heighten colon cancer risk. Even those consuming white meat are also at a higher risk of cancer in comparison to vegetarians.
