A dietary compound abundant in red meat and used as a supplement in energy drinks, energy pills and some weight-loss treatments promotes hardening of the arteries, show recent research from the Cleveland Clinic. The finding may help explain why some people, even when they get their cholesterol under control, still suffer ill effects from a diet high in meats such as beef, vension, lamb, duck and pork.
The culprit is bacteria living in the human digestive tract that metabolizes the compound carnitine found in red meats and turns it into a potential health hazard.
