    Lists Containing Beef

    High Asparagine Foods

    Asparagine is an amino acid, which has recently been rumored to aid the spread of breast cancer. Trials on mice have shown that low-asparagine diets, combined with blocking asparagine production in the body, greatly reduced the breast cancer’s ability to spread.

    Recent studies have shown a link between consuming large amounts of red meat over a lifetime, and an increased mortality rate, specifically surrounding heart and digestive issues. However, eating red meats like beef a couple of times a week is considered very healthy, and no studies have conclusively shown a link that this is in any way dangerous.
