Regular meat consumption has been linked to high cholesterol levels, heart diseases, cancer, etc. Studies show that vegetarians have a low risk of cancer and heart disease,as compared to their counterparts. It has also been suggested that those who regularly consume meat, have high protein levels that leads to calcium loss from the bones and so, meat consumption is also related to osteroporosis.
