Daily consumption of red meat may increase the risk of breast cancer in women, even if they have not yet entered menopause, a recent study by American scientists confirms.

By 2003, more than 1,000 of them had breast cancer. Experts found that women who ate an average of 150 g per day had a risk of breast cancer nearly twice as high as those who consumed only 300 g per week or less.

Eunyoung Cho, the leader of the study, said that it is hormones or compounds that act like hormones that stimulate the development of breast cancer, through the mechanism of attaching hormone receptors to the blocks. u.

Although there have not been many studies examining the relationship between red meat and breast cancer in young women, previous studies have found that daily consumption of red meat increases the risk of many types of cancer in Older women, such as stomach cancer.

According to Eunyoung Cho, women should not eat a lot of red meat because they contain saturated fat. This restriction not only reduces the risk of cancer but also helps them prevent many other diseases.
