The biological link between red meat and colorectal cancer

Standard medical advice for the prevention of colorectal cancer is to eat less red meat. However, the link between red meat and cancer has been unclear – until now.

Writing for the journal “Cancer Discovery,” Dana-Farber Cancer Institute oncologist Dr. Mario Giannakis said that “red meat chemicals cause alkylation.” Nitroso compounds, from heme in red meat and nitrates in processed meat, create alkylation processes.

“Patients whose tumors had the highest levels of alkylation damage had a 47% greater risk of colorectal death.”
