9. Meat

Too much meat, including beef, chicken, and pork, can lead to inflammation.  In a 2006 study, women who ate 1.5 servings of beef per day were twice as likely to have hormone receptor positive breast cancer. Women who ate beef 3 times a week or less did not increase their risk. The risk of inflammation is even higher in cured meats due to the added nitrates and sodium.

    Jesus Christ, why not put “air” and “water” on the list. Either of those two things in excess will also cause inflammation and kill you.
