Gut microbe response to digestion may help explain cardiovascular disease risk related with red meat intake

Chemicals produced in the digestive tract by gut microbes after eating red meat may help explain part of the higher risk of cardiovascular disease associated with red meat consumption, according to new research published today in the American Heart Association's peer-reviewed journal Arteriosclerosis, Thrombosis, and Vascular Biology.

Study quantifies link between red meat intake, gut microbiome, and cardiovascular disease in older adults

Does eating more meat-;especially red meat and processed meat-;raise the risk of cardiovascular disease, and if so, why? Despite intense study, the impact of animal source foods on atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) is vigorously debated, and the mechanisms underlying potential effects of animal proteins remain unclear.
