Health notes
Beef is a source of protein, iron, and vitamin B12. However, red meat consumption, including beef, has been linked to an increased risk of certain health conditions by some studies. The World Health Organization's International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) classifies processed meat, which can include some beef burger preparations, as carcinogenic to humans (Group 1). Unprocessed red meat is classified as probably carcinogenic (Group 2A). Dietary guidelines from the NHS and SACN suggest moderating red meat intake as part of a balanced diet.
