If you want to prevent heart disease and strokes, experts advise to avoid the consumption of red meat. But again revealed how the mechanism of red meat harmful to health.
The study, published in the journal Nature Medicine suggests that compounds carnitine in red meat will be destroyed by bacteria in the digestive tract. The destruction of these compounds result in cholesterol levels in the upper body, which increases the risk of heart disease.
In what has been a lot of research that suggests that the consumption of red meat on a regular basis can affect the health of the heart due to the high content of saturated fat. The dangers of saturated fats and processed meat has long been known to have side effects, although not the only thing causing dangger red meat.
"The cholesterol and saturated fat from red meat is not the only danger, there are other things that increase the risk of cardiovascular disease," said lead researcher Dr. Stanley Hazen, of Claveland clinic.
The experiments were conducted in mice and humans indicate that the bacteria in the digestive system decompose carnitine. Carnitine is decomposed gas is converted in the liver to a chemical compound called TMAO. In this study, TMAO strongly associated with the accumulation of fat in the blood vessels. So, this can lead to heart disease and death.
Hazen said TMAO is often ignored because it can be waste products of metabolism. "But can significantly affect cholesterol metabolism and accumulation," he said.
This study concludes that reducing the frequency of consumption of red meat is highly recommended. In addition, this study focuses on the use of yogurt berprobiotik to change the balance of bacteria in the digestive system.
"Reducing the number of bacteria that decompose carnitine could theoretically also reduce the dangers of red meat," said Hazen.
People who do not eat red meat or vegetarian has a number of decomposing bacteria carnitine less than meat eaters.
Although red meat is an excellent source of protein and good nutrients, but should not be eaten too much. The UK government recommends eating red meat no more than 70 grams per day.
