Red meat link to cancer in women

[Lise]

Alrighty. Yet another food that we (at least the women) have to watch out for.

 US researchers writing in Archives of Internal Medicine looked at over 90,000 pre-menopausal women.  Having one-and-a-half servings of red meat per day almost doubled the risk of hormone receptor-positive breast cancer compared to three or fewer per week.  UK cancer experts said animals in the UK were not given growth hormones which are used for US animals.

Now, that's a surprise. I would have thought that red meat is healthy, what with its high concentrations of pesticides, antibiotics, and fecal matter.

[Gopher]

Wow. Is this propaganda aimed at reducing the birth rate?

[P.C.]

What a waste of money on such a study.  Firstly, it would have been far less money to do a study to see how many women actually EAT one and a half servings of red meat PER DAY.  There.....study over.

  I'd like just for once, for these guys to name 5 foods that DON'T cause cancer.  Surely they must be running out by now.  

  Being as they have established that everything we touch, eat, breathe and drink causes cancer, why not quit wasting money on finding more......spend it on studies to FIX it.

I'm convinced that being exposed to too many surveys causes cancer.  That must be about the only thing they haven't studied yet.

[Lise]

Exactly, PC. They should concentrate on the cure, not these damnable surveys. As if they didn't know this already.

Everything is OK in moderation. As long as it doesnt become a regular thing like every day it should be ok.

  They say the same about smoking... case and point. My Grandmother on my dad's side is 94 as of June, and smokes a cigarette a day. Has since she was 12 or so she says. Doctors for her say shes going to pass away from other complications not related to smoking.

I'm thinking injections cause cancer.  The only common denominator that all these tests have is they're always injecting, injecting, injecting.
