Did you know that the meat you eat everyday can kill you? People consume meat everyday, and don’t know how it can affect their health. Research shows that red meat is increasing the chance of eight major diseases. Those diseases include cancer, heart disease, respiratory disease, strokes, diabetes, infections, kidney disease, and liver disease. Red meat is also full of nasty growth hormones and cholesterol. The next type of meat that is causing long term health issues is chicken. Chicken can cause a number of bacterial and viral-related diseases and infections due to pathogenic organisms they carry. Chicken can cause salmonellosis, avian flu, E. coli infection, campylobacteriosis, and staphylococcus aureus infection. Like the red meat, chicken is full of nasty growth hormones, which is terrible for you, it is full of cholesterol. The last type of meat I will be talking about is pork. Pork also can cause many disease like salmonella, E. coli, trichinellosis, listeriosis, staphylococcus aureus, and like read meat and chicken, the pig is injected with nasty growth hormones. In all these animals when they are in domestication, they …show more content…
Pork can cause salmonella, E. coli, trichinellosis, listeriosis, staphylococcus aureus, cancer, and the swine flu. Pork comes from pigs and farmers say that pigs are the “garage of the farm.” Pigs are often eating they can this includes not only bugs, insects, and whatever leftover scraps they find lying around. Pigs also eat their own feces, as well as the dead carcasses of sick animals. According to the World Health Organization, processed meat like ham, bacon, sausage, and pork, causes cancer. The swine flu is another virus that pigs gave humans, which my brother, Parker, said wasn’t fun at all. In conclusion, pigs are not a healthy animal to eat, but if you do want to eat anything that comes from a pig don’t eat a lot of
However, most experts say that overall meat is safer now than it's ever been. There is still a risk, though. For example, according to a study published in the journal Clinical Infectious Diseases, almost half of our meat and poultry contain Staphylococcus aureus, a type of bacteria that can cause serious infections as well as death (Andrew E. Waters). Here's what Lance B. Price, Ph.D., senior author of the study said about the bacteria, “We know that nearly half of our food supply's meat and poultry are contaminated with S. aureus, and more than half of those are multidrug resistant.” However, he goes on to say, “What we don't know [is] how often these transfer to people. We need more studies to quantify the public health impact (Gardner).” Furthermore, Pascal James Imperato, M.D., dean of the School of Public Health at SUNY-Downstate Medical Center in Brooklyn, NY said, “Numerous studies of this type done in other countries...have generally come up with the same findings, that multidrug-resistant S. aureus are present in a variety of animal meats.” "But, so far, no one has been able to draw a connection between the presence of those bacteria in meats and human illness (Gardner)." So, as one can see, even though S. aureus is
Meat contains a lot of protein which helps you stay healthy. But it also contains fat cells that clogs your veins and arteries, preventing healthy sugars from flowing naturally, which causes diabetes.
Feed and feed ingredients as potential disease transmission pathways. The potential for cross contamination with fecal matter along the feed supply chain became an important concern when addressing swine herd Biosecurity. Decreasing the probability that a novel infectious organism will enter a swine production facility requires an understanding of the potential disease transmission pathways that may exist for any facility. PEDV does not affect pork safety. Pork remains completely safe to eat.
Wild hog carry several diseases such as pseudorabies, swine brucellosis, bovine tuberculosis, FADs, African swine
In recent years, red meat has been controversial because it has been linked to heart disease and cancer. The truth is today’s red meat wasn’t what it has used to be. Those we ate nowadays is vastly different than before. The meat products may have been processed before sale. Regardless of the fact that humans consumed red meat through different methods, many experts still believe that it is more harmful to human body than health aspects. Eating red meat raises the risk of early death. As red meat is high in protein and fats, it can contribute to different kinds of diseases and cancer to our human body. Some people claim that red meat is healthy. However, there are some good reasons that this is not true.
Throughout the five million years that mankind has been living on earth, red meat has been consumed. Red meat has played a major role in mankind’s diet for many centuries. The human body has specially designed attributes, such as our canine and molar teeth, that are meant to help us consume food that is tougher than most. However, recent studies are claiming that by consuming red meat, you raise your risk of getting cancer. Fortunately, there are two sides to this controversial issue. In recent years, studies have proven that red meat is beneficial to the human body because it provides an excellent source of vitamins and minerals that are hard to intake from any other foods.
They inject all of those chemicals to make the chicken bigger but that’s hurting us and all the little kids out there for their future. It may cause heart diseases and at a point when we have to take so many pills to get better. On Netflix there’s a documentary that came out this year called ‘What the Health’. He also talks about meat causes cancer. He interviewed three people who were sick with cancer and they all went to many doctors to get better but they just receive pills to take and hope for their best. The guy in the video tells them to stop taking the pills, stop eating process meat, try to exercise and he’ll come back in two weeks to see how they are. When that day came those three people he interviewed looked so much healthier and had so much energy. Not eating meat may cause a different in us and a longer life because we are hurting animals by killing them but really they are killing us.
The average american eats 198 pounds of red meat per year (Reubold). This number has increased significantly over the past fifty years, and interestingly, so have cancer rates. The vast majority of people are unaware of the disastrous effects caused by meat consumption. Meat has the ability to cause cancer, type two diabetes, heart disease and numerous other health complications. The amount of meat produced each year is expected to rise to as much as 465 million tons by 2050 (“Meat Production Continues to Rise”). This raises the question, what effects will this have? With shocking correlation between meat consumption and health issues, one can only imagine the impact that such an increase in meat production/consumption could have on their health and environment. The only real solution to this pressing issue is to cut out meat as a food source. There is no justification for a diet which leads to health complications and possibly death. While many believe that meat is a better source of nutrients, the overall effects are detrimental to human-health and injurious to the environment.
When individuals develop diabetes watching your red meat, and processed meat intake is important. Red meat, and processed meat has a large amount of saturated fat, and has been linked to lead early on set type 2 diabetes. Studies have shown that women with type 2 diabetes that consumed more processed, and red meat were at a greater risk of developing heart disease than women with diabetes that consumed less. Saturated fats raise your “LDL” (Bad cholesterol). Saturated fats is linked to clogging your blood vessels, and leading to heart attacks, and strokes. Research has also shown that saturated fat may also increase the body's insulin resistance and make blood sugars harder to control.
Researching where the meat is coming from is a big step in not buying mistreated animals. Animals live their lives out in factory farms that mistreat these animals. Pork producers have the sows in horrible conditions by keeping them in a farrowing crate where
Panic has enveloped meat eaters after the World Health Organization deemed processed and red meat culprits in increasing cancer risks.(1)(2)(3) The announcement convened in Lyon, France with an International panel of 22 experts who have been gathering and evaluating years of studies on meat. They all came to the same conclusion that eating processed meats raises risk of colon cancer, and red meat “probably” increases risks for cancer as well.(4)(5)(6) WHO has placed processed and red meat under the “definitely carcinogenic” category, which might not be deemed the most dangerous, but is recognized as hazardous depending on the quantity being consumed.(6) This news has raised the ire of fast food and meat industries, even though researchers indicated that at some exposure level and under some circumstance a substance might increase cancer risk, and even then maybe by just an insignificant amount.(7)(4) It would be impractical for everyone to stop eating meat because meat does contain vitamins and nutrients that the body needs like iron and phosphorus. Individuals should eat meat in moderation, as it has been proposed for numerous years. Healthy eating guidelines have been provided to the public on what it recommended to eat for many years, and such accredited places like Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, recommend that people should not consume very much red meat and little to none processed meat. Eating in meat in moderation in the optimum choice
Common illnesses that can occur are salmonella and trichinosis poisoning resulting from improper handling of chicken, eggs or pork (Jardin, 2009, para.2). Diseases such as: campylobacteriosis, cholera, and listeriosis also make the list of illnesses (Jardin, 2009, para.1). These diseases are the versions of food poisoning, which can be life-threatening. According to the World of Health article published in 2007,
Some individuals may have chosen to be Vegetarian for health purposes, or out of respect for animals. The health benefits of not eating meat may reduce the risk of a Heart Attack, Cancer, and Type 2 Diabetes. Meat contains saturated fat. Consuming excessive amounts of meat may cause clogged arteries. Clogged arteries force your heart to beat faster, in order to pump blood through the arteries, resulting in high blood pressure. Compounds broken down in meat produce fatty build up causing clogged arteries, and in some cases resulting in a heart attack. Preservatives, such as nitrate, are used to prevent bacteria in processed meat, and are known to cause cancer. Red meat is high in iron and may diminish insulin’s effectiveness of converting sugar into energy causing diabetes.
Meat is one of the main consumed food in the world in past decades when compared with other types of food items. There are many advantages and disadvantages of consuming meat. The main advantage is that it contains proteins, vitamin B6, B12 and several other growth factors which are essential for the cell growth and immunity. The disadvantage is animals are injected with antibodies and several hormones such as estrogen, testosterone to boost their growth. Hence, it causes cancer, early puberty in girls. Therefore, the regular meat consumption is not recommended. As per literature, meat considerably causes weight gain and lead to heart disease and cholesterol. Because of the ethical issues and conditions mentioned above,
Firstly, many Australians have shifted to a vegetarian diet, one of the main reasons behind it is due to health reasons. This means that people who are vegetarian think that the vegetarian diet is healthy and suitable for all stages of the life cycle (Healey,2012). According to Healey (2012) that eating meat can be hazardous to people’s health because animal products and meat have a higher level of cholesterol which can lead to build up a plaque in arteries which causes heart disease and heart attack. Similarly, Merkes (2012) argues that eating meat is linked among rising of death from cancer and heart disease, Healey (2015) says “it’s not just the saturated fat and cholesterol” (P.27), humans are not created to eat meat because of its nature and the new agricultural methods. The animals which are in farming industries are given antibiotics and drugs to grow faster, therefore their products can have side effects on human’s health
