But, when people&nbsp;look at it deeper, they&nbsp;can see that the claim that red meat causes cancer seems a bit odd. Red meat is any meat that comes from the flesh of animals, like cows and pigs, etc. Red meat has some unique properties that other meat sources do not have. An interesting thing about red meat is that not all of it is actually red.<\/p>\n<p id=\"takeawayheader\">Key Takeaways:<\/p>\n<ul id=\"takeaways\">\n<li id=\"takeaway1\">Red meat has a red-colored compound in it called myoglobin, which binds to oxygen, released from the bloodstream.<\/li>\n<li id=\"takeaway2\">White meat has little myoglobin, consisting instead of fast-twitch muscle fibers that source their energy from glycogen.<\/li>\n<li id=\"takeaway3\">The World Health Organization classified processed red meat as a carcinogen, specific to colorectal cancer, a group 1 status, on par with asbestos and tobacco.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p id=\"quote\">&#8220;Thus, the widespread headlines saying that &ldquo;red meat causes cancer headlines&rdquo; is an incorrect interpretation of the WHO&rsquo;s findings.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><span id=\"readmoretext\">Read more: <\/span><a id=\"source\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ruled.me\/evaluating-research-red-meat-controversy\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">https:\/\/www.ruled.me\/evaluating-research-red-meat-controversy\/<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"task_trail\" style=\"display: none;\">(abstract 3VMV5CHJZ8FPKCCI38MRFSDC5KKTGO 3V26SBZTBDENKPEFPU40A7QJ3WCZZZ APF1EAZT104LQ)(authorquote 3THR0FZ95PTPTCLBIIX8YACX2TSOL6 3OLQQLKKNSPZ9FIFBLN1131BWS2EJZ A1DCGB72N1UIPT)(keypoints 3VP28W7DUNKFSOPMYG5RJVEHP1BFZW 3Z4GS9HPNVALG523N4KYS34LJBI77L A1X84CLJ7N1PLZ)<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>People have been bombarded with information that red meat causes cancer.
