Abstract By systematically analyzing research papers published in recent years, the effects of red and processed meat consumption on human health are discussed in depth. As a result, the positive role of red and processed meat in nutrition supply to the human body is affirmed. According to the results of epidemiologic studies, the consumption of red and processed meat is indeed associated with cardiovascular disease, colorectal cancer, prostate cancer and breast cancer. However, there is no evidence that red and processed meat consumption has a remarkable negative effect on human health. A rational diet and well-balanced nutrition are conducive to good health.
