Medical professional and surgeon Ivan Karasev, a candidate of medical sciences and oncologist, shared concerns about how high-fat meat consumption can affect health. He spoke on the First Medical Channel, a YouTube program, emphasizing the potential dangers tied to fatty meats and certain canned foods.
The oncologist notes that excessive intake of fatty meats and processed canned items may contribute to colorectal health issues. In his view, the digestive process may not always fully complete after consuming these products, which can be a risk factor for intestinal problems over time.
Karasev explains that fermentation byproducts produced during digestion can sustain chronic inflammation in the gut, an effect linked with ongoing intestinal irritation. This inflammatory state, he argues, should prompt people to reconsider how often they eat fatty meats.
He suggests aiming for fish as a more regular protein source and limiting red meat to no more than once per week. This dietary pattern, he notes, can support digestive health while still providing essential nutrients.
Previously, Alexander Seryakov, a respected MD and professor who leads the SM-Clinic Oncology Center, commented on similar themes. Reports indicate that diet and eating habits feature prominently among the factors associated with stomach cancer risk. The message, echoed in expert discussions, highlights that unhealthy eating patterns and frequent consumption of harmful foods can influence cancer risk.
In related health discussions, medical professionals have also addressed common myths, such as the supposed link between asthma and severe Covid-19 in children, advising cautious interpretation of early findings and stressing evidence-based guidance for families.
