Yes, red meat and processed meats can negatively affect multiple myeloma. These foods are known to cause inflammation in the body, and studies have shown that people who eat diets high in inflammatory foods may experience worse outcomes with multiple myeloma.

Consider replacing red meat with these healthier protein alternatives:
• Fish
• Chicken
• Beans
• Nuts A Mediterranean diet approach may be beneficial, as it limits red meat while focusing on plant-based foods and healthy fats. This includes plenty of vegetables, legumes, and olive oil. If you're interested in making dietary changes, it's important to discuss them with your healthcare team or oncologist first.
