A Prospective Study of Red and Processed Meat Intake in Relation to Cancer Risk

[Guest guest]

Not sure how many CRON'ers get most of their protein from red meat, I

personally eat read meat maybe once a month approx. (i eat fish about

as often) Plants make up vast majority of my diet and protein.

Interesting study that breaks down various cancer risks by " red meat

intake quintiles " (see Table 2 & Figure 1)

In conclusion, a diet high in red or processed meat was associated

with an elevated risk of both colorectal and lung cancer; in addition,

red meat was associated with an elevated risk of esophageal and liver

cancer. A decrease in the consumption of red and processed meat could

reduce the incidence of cancer at multiple sites.

I hope this stimulates some discussion here..

Question for the list: How many of you do " low carb " which i assume

necessitates a greater consumption of animal products?

This is the same conclusion the WCF/AICR reached in

their recent 1007 Cancer Report

http://www.dietandcancerreport.org/?p=ER

Quoting..

" Recommendation 5: Animal Foods

Limit intake of red meat and avoid processed meat

Personal Recommendations

* People who eat red meat to consume less than 500 g

(18 oz) a week, very little if any to be processed.

Evidence

The evidence that red meat, and particularly processed

meat, is a cause of colorectal cancer is stronger now

than it was in the mid-1990s. "

Nothing new in the red meat study. We’ve come to that conclusion here years ago. As did Walford.

“Low carb” would not be CRON. It would be Atkins (or South Beach or some other “fad”).
