    Recently, a study published in the American Journal of clinical nutrition by the University of eastern Finland showed that a diet containing too much animal protein and meat has a negative impact on health (http:// The researchers said the study provided further support for earlier studies During a 20-year follow-up, the researchers found that men who preferred animal protein diets over plant protein had a higher risk of death than men who had a more balanced source of protein in their diets During the follow-up period, men who ate more meat (more than 200 grams per day) had a 23% higher risk of death than men who ate less than 100 grams of meat per day The men in the study mainly ate red meat, the researchers revealed Today, most nutritional recommendations limit the intake of red meat and processed meat For example, in Finland, the maximum recommended intake of red meat is 500 grams per week The study also found that men diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease or cancer at the start of the study had a higher risk of death with a higher total protein intake in their diet No similar association was found in men without these diseases These findings highlight the need to study the health effects of protein intake, especially in people with a history of chronic disease The average age of the men in the study at the time of onset was 53 years old, and the apparent lack of protein in the diet was not typical in the study population Previous studies have shown that high intake of animal protein, especially processed meat, such as sausages and cold dishes, is associated with an increased risk of death However, the overall health impact of proteins and different protein sources remains unclear
