Meat is a well accepted food with appreciable appealing. Due to its high nutritional value it plays a central role in human development. Meat/meat derivates are important sources of proteins, minerals and vitamins. Their nutritional importance is paralleled to their economic impact. Paying attention to the social alarm originated by a recent publication of WHO about the relationship between red and/or processed meat consumption and cancer, this paper reviews the following aspects: a) the present consumption of meat/meat products in Spain; b) the contribution of their macro/micronutrients to the recommended dietary allowances; c) the obliged use of additives (e.g. nitrites and nitrates) to warrant the food safety, and their daily intake. In addition health risks derived from a high consumption, as well as the most appropriate culinary uses in order to reduce the formation of toxic products (e.g. N-nitrosocompounds) are commented. Due to the huge variety of available meat products, this paper concludes that any generalization should be avoided. We also emphasize about the advantages of consuming meat/meat products in the frame of a Mediterranean diet, rich in vegetables, fruits, and bioactive compounds.
肉类是一种广受欢迎且颇具吸引力的食物。因其高营养价值，它在人类发展中起着核心作用。肉类及其衍生物是蛋白质、矿物质和维生素的重要来源。它们的营养重要性与其经济影响相当。鉴于世界卫生组织最近发表的关于红肉和/或加工肉类消费与癌症之间关系引发的社会关注，本文综述以下方面：a) 西班牙目前肉类/肉类产品的消费量；b) 其宏量/微量营养素对推荐膳食摄入量的贡献；c) 为保证食品安全而必须使用的添加剂（如亚硝酸盐和硝酸盐）及其每日摄入量。此外，还讨论了高消费带来的健康风险，以及为减少有毒产物（如N-亚硝基化合物）形成的最合适烹饪方法。由于现有肉类产品种类繁多，本文得出结论，应避免一概而论。我们还强调了在地中海饮食框架内食用肉类/肉类产品的优势，这种饮食富含蔬菜、水果和生物活性化合物。
