Red Meats and Saturated Fats

There are substances in red meat and saturated fats that, when broken down by bile salts, enzymes and colon bacteria, are not nice to the cells that line the colon. In fact, experimentally in animals, certain cancerous materials – carcinogens – may appear. The exact role of these factors is uncertain in humans, but it is an observed fact that people who eat lots of red meat and saturated fat have an increased incidence of colon cancer.
