Guest guest Posted April 3, 2009 Report Share Posted April 3, 2009 Do you think it's really meat that causes colon cancer or is it the way meat in western societies is raised & processed? Do you know of any studies on the rate of colon cancer in people who eat grass-fed, hormone-free beef, nitrite-free bacon, free-range chicken, dairy products made from raw milk, etc.? Personally, I'm very concerned about this because my mother died at 58 of colon cancer. My gut feeling is that meat in & of itself isn't bad, it's the unnatural ways we raise & prepare it that's harmful (coupled with all the other toxins we get from produce, processed food, air, water, cosmetics, household cleaners, etc.). > > Colon Cancer Caused by Western Diet > > A so-called Western diet eaten by the majority of Americans and many > Europeans is loaded with meat, fat and processed foods.

Guest guest Posted April 3, 2009 Report Share Posted April 3, 2009 , you may be more correct than wrong and while meat has its detractors what about the 'other' parts of the Western Diet that may have a more causative relationship with disease? What about the Carbohydrate madness that westerners dive into with abandon and by Carbs, I do not mean a slice of bread but I do mean the sweets and perhaps the bread, but the bread with whatever is being put inside these days. No, cancer, even Colon Cancer is too complex to be blamed on one thing and before the day is over we will hear about The China Study and perhaps some other anti-meat program. Just remember, not everyone that eats meat gets cancer just as not everyone consuming charcoal-burned meat gets it. Even the much talked about Polyp is not the guaranteed lead-in to cancer and there are some that believe polyps have no relationship to cancer. I say some. Causative relationship? Maybe, but there's always more to the story than a simple answer.........but we will continue to go for the simple answer. Joe C. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 4, 2009 Report Share Posted April 4, 2009 70% of all colon cancer can be prevented with vitamin D . This is the biggest lack of all nutrients. , you may be more correct than wrong and while meat has its detractors what about the 'other' parts of the Western Diet that may have a more causative relationship with disease?

Guest guest Posted April 5, 2009 Report Share Posted April 5, 2009 I've read a lot lately about vitamin D being a cure/prevention for many things. Besides direct sunlight (which is difficult to get working 8+ hours/day inside an office building), what is the best way to get enough? And what IS enough? I understand that you can have too much vitamin D. > > , you may be more correct than wrong and while meat has its detractors what about the 'other' parts of the Western Diet that may have a more causative relationship with disease?
