Eating too much protein could be as dangerous as smoking for
middle-aged people.
This 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.
Its evident that a high-protein diet –
particularly if the proteins are derived from animals – is nearly as
bad as smoking for your health.
The research found that people with a high protein diet were 74 per
cent more likely to die of any cause within the study period than
their low-protein counterparts.
“The research shows that a low-protein diet in middle age is
useful for preventing cancer and overall mortality".
As well as red meat, dairy products high in protein are also
dangerous, the researchers said, suggesting chicken, fish, pulses,
vegetables, nuts and grain are healthier sources of protein.
Research 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.
Protein controls the growth hormone IGF-I, which helps bodies
grow but has been linked to cancer susceptibility.
