A
Heart Disease
B
Cancer
C
High Blood Pressure
D
Type 2 Diabetes
E
Osteoporosis
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Considerable evidence from long-term prospective cohort studies has demonstrated that diets high in red and processed meats are associated with increased risk of type 2 diabetes (T2D), cardiovascular disease (CVD), cancer (particularly colorectal cancer), and all-cause mortality (4–6).

Detailed explanation-2: -But research has shown that regularly eating red meat and processed meat can raise the risk of type 2 diabetes, coronary heart disease, stroke and certain cancers, especially colorectal cancer.

Detailed explanation-3: -Animal products contain much more fat than plant-based foods. Because vegetarian diets are the only diets that work for long-term weight loss, it’s no surprise that population studies show that meat-eaters have three times the obesity rate of vegetarians and nine times the obesity rate of vegans.

Detailed explanation-4: -Large population-based studies often agree that consuming meat and saturated fat are linked to chronic disease rates. Examples include diabetes (1, 2), cardiovascular disease (2, 3), alzheimer’s disease (4), and especially colorectal, pancreatic, and prostate cancer (5).

Detailed explanation-5: -Research shows that eating too much red meat can increase your risk of colorectal cancer. Some evidence suggests that excess red meat can increase the risk of pancreatic and prostate cancer as well.
