Can eating cheese be as bad for us as smoking?

We have always been made to be believe that smoking is one of the dangerous habits that mankind has as it can lead to death. But there are a few other habits that might cost you as much.

One such habit is having a high protein diet. Shocking it may sound but this is what University of Southern California claims.

This claim is based on the research that tracked a large sample of adults for nearly two decades.

The findings of the research have found that eating a diet rich in animal proteins during middle age makes you four times more likely to die of cancer than someone with a low-protein diet.

Animal sources for protein include meat, milk and cheese.
