Sažetak
The aim of the paper is to provide an overview on the role of meat in
human nutrition. The focus is on the adaptation of humans to an
omnivorous diet and the nutritional value of meat and its contribution in satisfying the nutrient requirements. The influence of meat intake on the incidence of some chronic diseases is described and the fact that reexamination of epidemiological data shows that a higher risk for cancer was wrongly ascribed to high meat intake, being far more associated with low fruit and vegetables intake and to other life-style risk factors. At the end a review of current recommendations concerning meat intake is given. Because of its high nutritional value, meat retains important role in prudent human nutrition.
