Re: Another biased study: Meat intake not linked to breast cancer

[Guest guest]

We now face yet another study but wait..............tomorrow's another day and

another study might show that simply walking past a butcher shop will cause

cancer. The meat detractors will be scrambling to find out why meat should

not be eaten and those favoring its consumption will be sending out......... " so

there " messages.

Many will simply do what humans usually do................look for what they

want a study to reveal and use it to bolster their beliefs.

How many times will we hear the comment that 'one can find a study to refute the

study one is looking at today'...........or words to that effect?

Joe,

I couldn't agree more. Every time you turn around...'this isnt good for you,

that's not good for you.'

I think one needs to listen to one's heart when it comes to specific things

especially when theres one trail and another trail to refute the first trail

I've argued that small amounts of healthy meat are probably okay for healthy

people. But a few things are for sure:

Most of the meat available today comes from really sick animals.

We are getting about a 20:1 ratio of omega 6 to omega 3 fats, when the correct

ratio should be 1:1. Sick meat (and eggs and milk) plays a large part in this.

Mixing sugar and meat is probably horrendously bad for us, much worse than

taking either substance separately.

If someone HAS cancer, then it is probably best to avoid all animal protein

until the cancer is long gone. It is true, however, that Kelley did allow a

few soft boiled (range free organic) eggs a week, I believe.

If you want to go strict vegan even though you aren't fighting a major health

problem, watch your overall health closely. If your health declines, then maybe

you are from genetic stock that requires a wee bit of healthy animal protein a

week. I would suggest that this be minimized to the minimum level to allow you

to experience your best health.

Meats processed with dyes and chemicals cause no harm? Charred meat causes

no harm? Hmmm....I'd be interested to know who funded the study.
