Red meat total: times the recommended max intake
The World Cancer Research Fund recommends to limit our consumption of red meat (bovine, pig, mutton and goat) to no more than 300 g (11 oz) a week – that's about 43 g (1.5 oz) a day. But in most countries the average consumption of red meat is way higher.
