HIGH-PROTEIN ‘AS BAD FOR HEALTH AS SMOKING’:
According to scientific study, published in March 2014,
eating too much protein could be as dangerous as smoking for, middle-aged
people. Research which tracked thousands of adults for nearly 20 years found
that people who eat a diet rich in animal protein are four times more likely to
die of cancer than someone with a low protein diet. The risk is nearly as high
as the danger of developing cancer by smoking 20 cigarettes each day. Previous studies
have shown a link between cancer and red meat, but it is the first time
research has measured the risk of death caused by regularly eating too much
protein. High-protein food plans, such as the Atkins diet, have become popular
in recent years because of their dramatic weight-loss results. The new research
from the University of Southern California suggests that such dieters may harm
themselves in the long run.
