There are many reasons.

1) Red meat is linked with blindness.

2) As we digest protein, the amino group is turned into urine. Sometimes, the process can go one step further and it is turned into uric acid. This hapens moreso with red meat and uric acid is poisonous in anything over very small quantities.

3) Red meat is usually more fatty than other meats. Animal fats are the saturated kind, which is the bad kind that can lead to cloged and hardened arteries.

4) Red meat contains a lot of iron. Iron levels can build up which is dangerous in men (women rid themselves of excess iron during their period) Excess iron has been linked with Type II Diabetes.

5) we do not digest red meat as well as we digest meats like chicken. Foor this reason remnants of red meat can remain in the gastrointestinal tract for many years after ingestion. You probably have peices of meat in your intestines that are 3-4 years old or perhaps older. The ppor digestion can lead to bowel cancers etc.
