Eating meat regularly could carry a higher risk of a wide range of common illnesses, a new study suggests. Previous studies have linked red and processed meat – like bacon or sausages – to several diseases, such as bowel cancer. But a new study examined the relationship between meat consumption in general and 25 common illnesses other than cancer. Researchers from the University of Oxford looked at 475,000 men and women who are taking part in the UK Biobank study.
