High blood levels of the amino acid homocysteine have been linked to increased risks of cardiovascular disease.
Cardiovascular disease is a disease related to heart, in which vessels become narrowed or blocked and these can lead to heart attack or stroke.
Homocysteine is an amino acid and its important source is meat, we get this from eating meat and when the level of these amino acid increases in the blood, it leads to heart disease.
