3. Intro to Meat product • Latin word carō "meat" (also the root of 'carnal', referring to the 'pleasures of the flesh') is often a euphemism for sexual pleasure, effected from the function performed by fleshy organs. • All muscle tissue is very high in protein, containing all of the essential amino acids, and in most cases is a good source of zinc, vitamin B12, selenium, phosphorus, niacin, vitamin B6, iron and riboflavin low in carbohydrates and fibers. • Red meat, such as beef, pork, and lamb, contains many essential nutrients necessary for healthy growth and development in children but US study has suggested that eating a diet high in red meat and dairy products is linked to an increased risk of pancreatic cancer. • Nutrients in red meat include iron, zinc, and protein. • While each kind of meat has about the same content of protein and carbohydrates, there is a very wide range of fat content. It is the additional fat that contributes most to the calorie content of meat, and to concerns about dietary health.

4. Meat risk • In recent years, concerns have been raised over the use of meat as a regular part of the human diet. In a large-scale study, the consumption of red meat over a lifetime was found to raise the risk of cancer by 20 to 60 percent, while causing adverse mutations in DNA. • In particular, red meat and processed meat were found to be associated with higher risk of cancers of the lung, esophagus, liver, and colon, among others. Animal fat, particularly from ruminants, tends to have a higher percentage of saturated fat vs. monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fat when compared to vegetable fats, with the exception of some tropical plant fats; consumption of which has been correlated with various health problems. • The saturated fat found in meat has been associated with significantly raised risks of colon cancer, breast cancer, osteoporosis, and prostate cancer, although some evidence suggests that risks of prostate cancer are unrelated to animal fat consumption.

5. Meat risk • Meat has been correlated to increased risk of heart disease diabetes, with the risks of heart disease being three times greater for 45-64 year old men who eat meat daily. • A large-scale study in 2008 also found that eating two or more servings of meat a day increases the risk of suffering from excessive fat around the waist, high blood sugar, high cholesterol, and high blood pressure. • One famous study, the Nurses' Health Study, followed about 100,000 female nurses and their eating habits. Nurses who ate the largest amount of animal fat were twice as likely to develop colon cancer as the nurses who ate the least amount of animal fat.

6. Red Meat mortality risk • A 2009 study by the National Cancer Institute revealed a direct link between the consumption of red meat and increased mortality. The study of more than a half million middle-aged and elderly Americans indicated that those who ate 4 ounces of red meat daily were 30% more likely to die within ten years.

7. Arsenic in Chicken • Chicken feed can also include Roxarsone, an antimicrobial drug that also promotes growth. The drug has generated controversy because it contains the element arsenic, which can cause cancer, dementia, and neurological problems in humans. • A Consumer Reports study in 2004 reported finding "no detectable arsenic in our samples of muscle" but found "A few of our chicken-liver samples has an amount that according to EPA standards could cause neurological problems in a child who ate 2 ounces of cooked liver per week or in an adult who ate 5.5 ounces per week.“ • However, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is the organization responsible for the regulation of foods in America, and all samples tested were "far less than the... amount allowed in a food product.

8. Growth hormones in Chickens • Chickens grow much more rapidly than they once did and some consumers have concluded that this rapid growth is due to the use of hormones in these animals. Some consumers believe that the increasingly earlier onset of puberty in humans is the result of the liberal use of such hormones. • However, hormone use in poultry production is illegal in the United States. Similarly, no chicken meat for sale in Australia is fed hormones. Furthermore, several scientific studies have documented the fact that chickens grow rapidly because they are bred to do so. A small producer of natural and organic chickens confirmed this assumption:

9. Avian influenza for Chicken virus • There is also a risk that crowded conditions in chicken farms will allow avian influenza (bird flu) to spread quickly. A United Nations press release states: "Governments, local authorities and international agencies need to take a greatly increased role in combating the role of factory-farming, commerce in live poultry, and wildlife markets which provide ideal conditions for the virus to spread and mutate into a more dangerous form..." • http://www.cdc.gov/flu/avian/gen-info/facts.htm

10. Chicken diseases • Chickens are susceptible to several parasites, including lice, mites, ticks, fleas, and intestinal worms, as well as other diseases.

11. Soybean Benefits • The soybean is a species of legume native to EastAsia. • It is an annual plant that has been used in China for 5,000 years as a food and a component of drugs. • Soy is a good source of protein because it contains a significant amount of essential aminoacids.

12. Soybean (natural food) • Soybeans are the primary ingredient in many processed foods, including dairy product substitutes. • Soybeans are an important source of vegetable oil and protein world wide. • Soybean products are the main ingredients in many meat and dairy substitutes.

13. Soybean products • The main producers of soy are the United States, Brazil, Argentina, China and India. • The beans contain significant amounts of alpha-Linolenic acid, an omega-3 fattyacid, and the isoflavonesgenistein and daidzein. These 3 prevent cancer • Products uses are tofu, tempeh, Soy mock meat, soy TVP, Soy chunks and soy sauce

14. Lentils food chart

15. Lentil benefits • Lentils contain high levels of proteins, including the essential amino acids isoleucine and lysine, and are an essential source of inexpensive protein for a lot. • Sprouted lentils contain sufficient levels of all essential amino acids, including methionine and cystine. • Lentils is usually mix with grains, such as rice, to get the complete protein dish.

16. Lentil • Lentil have a high level of proteins, which contain dietary fiber, Folate, vitaminB1, and minerals. Red (or pink) lentils contain a lower concentration of fiber than green lentils (11% rather than 31%).. • Lentils are one of the best vegetable sources of iron that’s good for adolescent and pregnant woman.

17. Gluten • Gluten is a composite of the proteins gliadin and glutenin. These exist, conjoined with starch, in the endosperms of some grass-related grains, notably wheat, rye, and barley. • Gliadin and glutenin compose about 80% of the protein contained in wheat seed. • Gluten has been use in pizza, bagels, maize, bread and rice.

18. Gluten-free diet • Worldwide, gluten is an important source of nutritional protein in foods unless it is use as an additive to foods which is low in protein. • Gluten free diet products is general used for people who suffers from celiac disease; should use potatoes, rice, millet arrowroot, sweet potato, yam, buckwheat, and chickpeas to get protein & dietary fiber.

19. Red # 40 • FD&C Red Dye #40 is usually found in food coloring, bakery goods, cereals, snacks, sauce, drugs, candy, and drinks. • It is a chemical compound know as red azo dye, originally manufactured by coal tar; now petroleum. • The red coloring carmine comes from cochineal insect in south and central America.

20. Red # 40 Health effects • Has increase Hyperactive behavior in children because of this UK has ban this product • Allura Red Ac may cause adverse reaction in small number of people with an aspirin tolerance causing skin rash

21. Cochineal insect (Red dye)

22. MSG • Monosodium glutamate, is a sodium salt of the non-essential amino acid glutamic acid. • glutamate is the anionic form of glutamic acid, a naturally occurring amino acid. • MSG is normally obtained by the fermentation of carbohydrates, using bacterial or yeast species from genera such as Brevibacterium, Arthrobacter, Microbacterium, and Corynebacterium.

23. Corynebacterium Diphtheria • Corynebacterium diphtheriae is a pathogenic bacterium that causes diphtheria • Diphtheria is a disease that cause swollen in the neck called bull neck

24. Corynebacterium Diphtheria toxin • Diphtheria toxin consist of single protein (polypeptide) that forms a set of protein(toxin) in a large amount of speed into the host cell. Because of these symptoms are caused by the toxin released by the bacterium
