A drink that should be completely removed
It is Dr. James Kinross, colorectal surgeon at the Imperial College in London, who warns against this type of drink: protein drinks! Yes, while they are more and more popular, they would be very dangerous for health.
If they were, at the base, consumed by athletes and bodybuilding fans, they have now invaded social networks. They are notably praised for their effects on weight loss. In addition, they are easy to prepare since it is enough for a dose of flavored protein and water before shaker everything. In short, protein drinks have become very popular.

Drinks not that healthy
But as the doctor explains to Daily Mailthese drinks, supposed to be healthy, can harm intestinal health and even promote the development of colorectal cancer. According to him, by-products from the metabolism of proteins actually release toxins in the body, reports Top health. These are capable of damaging DNA of intestinal cells and thus making them cancerous.
According to Dr. Kinross, these drinks have a double danger: on the one hand, they “deeply modify the intestinal microbiome”, and on the other, they release toxins disturbing the balance of beneficial bacteria, essential to the health of the colon. This alteration of the microbiome will promote chronic inflammation, which will promote the development of precancerous lesions.
