Beware! Eating over 300g of chicken and eggs in a week can kill you slowly. In a recent study, experts have warned that this habit could lead to gastrointestinal cancer. Read on to know how.
Gastrointestinal Cancer Warning: What is the cleanest source of protein that you can add to your daily diet? Most of us will either say chicken or eggs, isn't it? Yes, you are right! Chicken and eggs are the most comforting protein sources for many of us. However, researchers have found a disturbing link between eating over 300 grams of chicken and eggs per week and an increased risk of developing gastrointestinal cancers, including those of the stomach and intestines. According to a new Italian study, eating chicken at least four times a week can heighten the risk of gastric cancer.
The research, published in the journal Nutrients, had over 4,000 participants who were asked to share details about their demographic background, general health, lifestyle habits, and personal history. They were also asked to complete a validated questionnaire designed to reflect typical food consumption. It included how much meat participants ate, dividing consumption into red meat, poultry, and total meat.
