Red Meat 'Linked To Breast Cancer'
Red meat 'linked to breast cancer'
ITN - Wednesday, April 4
Red meat can greatly increase the risk of breast cancer, according to a report.
The study found post-menopausal women who eat large amounts a day could be 64 per cent more likely to suffer the disease. There is also an increased chance in younger females who have small amounts of beef, pork or lamb daily.
The study, led by Professor Janet Cade of the University of Leeds, involved studying the diets of 35,000 women aged between 35 and 69 for eight years.
The research states: "Women, both pre and post-menopausal, who consumed the most meat had the highest risk of breast cancer.
"Women generally consuming most total meat, red and processed meat were at the highest increased risk compared with non-meat consumers." The women completed 217-item food questionnaires and were divided into three groups depending on whether they were low, medium or high meat-eaters.
They were compared with women in the study who were vegetarian and researchers also took into account smoking, weight, fruit and vegetable intake, education, age and use of hormone replacement therapy.
Prof Cade said: "The findings are robust. Whatever we adjusted the data for we could find an association. "Really these results could apply to all women. At home I have cut down on the amount of red meat we eat as a family a week. "I am not suggesting that everyone should become a vegetarian, that would be unrealistic, but the findings were strong and I think we should pay attention to them."
The study was dismissed as "rubbish" by Sandy Crombie, chairman of the Scottish region of The Guild of Q Butchers, who pointed out that 56g of meat was roughly half a quarter-pound burger. He said: "Two ounces is absolutely tiny. I have never heard such rubbish, it's a tiny amount. "This is ridiculous, it's silly, it's barely worth talking about."

:rolleyes: Not sure I follow this line of argument!
Re: Red Meat 'Linked To Breast Cancer'
How much more proof do people need that animals are not meant to be eaten?
I don't see any government campaigns advocating eating '5 portions of meat' a day to be healthy. What is it the adverts suggest? Oh, yes 5 portions of fruit and vegetables a day..........isn't that what we vegans do already? :)
Cancerous Sausages and Western Diet Risk
Found some interesting articles on the BBC news for those that wish to read them.
Western Diet: Foods high in meat, white bread, milk and puddings puts asian women at risk of breast cancer (no shit!?).

"An additive used in some sausages and burgers could cause cancer, food safety experts have warned."

Re: Cancerous Sausages and Western Diet Risk
So they eat more meat and dairy, but obesity is the key?
Hmm... Sometimes the obvious is too hard for some people to accept.
Re: Cancerous Sausages and Western Diet Risk
Yeah I saw that bit.
It's so obvious when you can see it, and frustrating at the same time. *rolls eyes*.
Milk, white bread, meat and pudding, and they're saying that's not the issue? -sigh-
Re: Cancerous Sausages and Western Diet Risk
i thought they would come to the conclusion that it was the diet... :confused:

"Overall it is hard to determine the effects of diet on breast cancer risk," said Dr Sarah Cant, Senior Policy Officer at the charity.

We still aren't sure which specific dietary factors influence the chance of developing the disease."
Maybe, just maybe, it's all the meat and dairy.
