Scientists may have found another reason to limit your child’s meat intake. A new study, lead by Ohio State University’s Dr. Jing Gennie Wang, suggests that a diet high in non-seafood meat may have a detrimental effect on lung health in children. Dr. Wang’s team pointed fingers at compounds called advanced glycation end products, or AGEs, which are released when meat is cooked and can attach themselves to cells in the lungs, causing lung inflammation and wheezing, when consumed. The study found that a higher consumption of AGEs among children was associated with an 18% increase in the chance of experiencing wheezing, a 26% increase in disturbed sleep due to wheezing, a 34% increase in wheezing during exercise, and a 35% increase in need for medication to treat wheezing. Despite these striking statistics, Dr. Wang says that it’s premature to recommend dietary changes. While her study proves that an association appears to exist between meat consumption and wheezing among children, many other factors can influence the development of asthma and more research must be done to determine whether there is a causal relationship.
