How does replacing meat with alternative sources of protein affect gut health?

Northumbria University

Faculty of Health and Life Sciences

A diet high in red and processed meat increases risk of colorectal cancer. Through a combination of both host metabolism and the action of gut bacteria, constituents of meat generate DNA damaging 6 and inflammation inducing chemicals in the colon that initiate and promote the cancer process.
