introduction:despite advances in disease prevention and food materials technology, food – borne diseases are still a major problem in both developed and developing countries. morever, meat plays a key role in transfer of bacteria, especially “zoonotic” to humans. therefore, we decided to investigate the outbreak of pathogenic bacteria such as salmonella,campylobacter, yersinia and aeromonas in ...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Prospective studies of red meat consumption and risk of stroke have provided inconsistent results. We performed a meta-analysis to summarize the evidence regarding the effects of red meat (fresh, processed, and total) consumption on stroke risk. METHODS Studies were identified by searching the PubMed database through May 26, 2012, and by reviewing the reference lists of...

Accumulating epidemiologic evidence indicates that high consumption of red meat and of processed meat may increase the risk of colorectal cancer. We quantitatively assessed the association between red meat and processed meat consumption and the risk of colorectal cancer in a meta-analysis of prospective studies published through March 2006. Random-effects models were used to pool study results ...

An association between processed and red meat consumption and total mortality has been reported by epidemiological studies; however, there are many controversial reports regarding the association between meat consumption and CVD and IHD mortality. The present meta-analysis was carried out to summarise the evidence from prospective cohort studies on the association between consumption of meat (t...

In a manuscript in this issue of the journal, entitled ʺDetermination of the Causes of Tendency toward Red Meat and Meat Products in the West of Iranʺ, Falahi et al.[1] concluded that the amount of red meat (beef or lamb) and red meat products (such as sausages and hamburgers) intake was approximate‐ ly high among the population of western Iran (594.6 ± 956.2 g/week for red meat and 132.5 ± 251...

INTRODUCTION The colon and rectum are common sites of food-related cancer in developed countries. Recent studies strongly suggest that red meat intake is associated with colon cancer, whereas for rectal cancer such an association still needs to be proved. The aim of the study was to assess the role of total amount and frequency of red meat intake in colorectal carcinogenesis based on published ...

My brief is to talk about the changes in supply and demand. I am going to concentrate on the demand side and, in particular, the effects of adverse publicity and changing lifestyles on the demand for meat, particularly red meat, and also industry’s reaction to those factors. The proverbial ‘Man from Mars’, if he paid a fleeting visit, might get the impression that meat consumption is falling dr...

BACKGROUND Food-based dietary guidelines often recommend increased consumption of fish and reduced intake of red and processed meat. However, little is known about how changing the main protein source from red meat to fish may influence the choice of side dishes. OBJECTIVE To investigate whether side dish choices differed between red meat and fish dinners. Moreover, to compare intakes of macr...

Over the past decade, several large epidemiologic investigations of meat intake and prostate cancer have been published. Therefore, a meta-analysis of prospective studies was conducted to estimate potential associations between red or processed meat intake and prostate cancer. Fifteen studies of red meat and 11 studies of processed meat were included in the analyses. High vs. low intake and dos...
