 So, how does eating meat affect our health?   

 

 

Our health is an essential component of our survival, and it simply comes down to what we put in our bodies.  We need fats, carbs, protein, minerals, and vitamins.  But, if we eat too much of one of these things, or lack it, our body begins to lose nutrition, becomes weak, and starts to break down which is when we are more susceptible to getting cancer, and then dying.  Many scientific studies have been conducted, regarding the ingredients of some of our favorite fast foods, Scientists studied Tartrazine, one of the most widespread chemical additives they found that,

 

" 45 male Wistar rats were assigned to a control group (A) or a treatment one (B). The treatment group received 7.5 mg x kg(-1) x day(-1) of tartrazine daily in drinking water offered ad libitum for ten months from weaning to the age of twelve months. There was a significant increase in the number of lymphocytes and eosinophils of the gastric antrum mucosa. No carcinogenetic changes in any gastric area were observed during the study. As tartrazine belongs to the azo class, it is still a possible food carcinogen. Other studies with different doses and schedules, observing their effects associated to other carcinogens should be carried out if their safe use is to be recommended."
