IFNH Lunchtime Seminar 21st January: Red meat and cancer – what is the evidence?

We are pleased to announce our next Lunchtime Seminar showcasing the red meat and cancer evidence presented by Professor Gunter Kuhnle , Human Nutrition, Food & Nutritional Sciences at University of Reading.  The seminar will take place on Friday 21st January at 13.00 – 14.00 via Microsoft Teams.

Abstract:

Red and processed meat have been identified as carcinogens by the WHO – in the same category as smoking. But what does this mean, and how strong is the evidence? Red meat is an important part of our diet and it is therefore crucial to understand hazard and risk. There are a lot of mechanistical data linking red meat consumption with cancer risk, but they also offer possible solutions to weaken this link.
