Health experts advise that while red meat, including burgers, can provide essential nutrients like protein, iron, zinc, and B12, it is also linked to health issues such as heart disease and cancer due to its high saturated fat content. The recommended amount of red meat consumption varies by individual, with some people needing to limit or avoid it altogether based on factors like iron deficiency anemia or heart disease risk factors. Experts suggest that most people can include red meat in their diet in moderation, with a benchmark of once a week and portion sizes of 3 ounces. To reduce cancer risk, it is advised to limit red meat intake to 12-18 ounces per week and consider alternative protein sources like mushrooms or black bean burgers. Cooking methods that involve charring or high temperatures can increase cancer risk, so it is recommended to shorten cooking time and avoid direct exposure to flames or smoke. Pairing burgers with vegetables and making meat the side dish can also contribute to a healthier meal.
