 | Red meat and bowel cancer Just read on BBC news that red meat increases the risk of bowel cancer, and I quote... 'The European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition (EPIC) looked at the dietary habits of over 500,000 people across Europe over 10 years. Those eating over two 80g portions of red meat a day were a third more likely to get bowel cancer than those eating less than one portion a week, it found. the most likely explanation is that compounds called haemoglobin and myoglobin, which are found in red meat, trigger a process called nitrosation in the gut, which leads to the formation of carcinogenic compounds. Alternatively, the problem might be caused by compounds called heterocyclic amines, carcinogenic compounds created in the cooking process. However, these compounds are also found in poultry, which has not been linked to an increased cancer risk. ' Sorry, But I think this is another scare tactic similar to BSE. certainly wont stop me eating red meat!

   | Actually fatweed that is the norm take on it, the part they leave out is that its not red meat but the lack of fiberous vegetables that causes the cancer. A typical political/press twist on reality.

 | There is nothing new about these claims, people have been taking colonic irrigations for years to remove so called red meat deposits which apparently fester in the colon causing cancer, leaking gut syndrome etc. A Protein diet consisting of Raw (rare) red meats, unnacompanied by the requisite fibre on a person with poor intestinal flora (eat more Bio Yoghurt and take enzymes) is unhealthy for anyone and always has been, at least since we lost our appendix.

| Although the BBC story didn't seem to mention it, the study did look at the effect of eating fruit and vegetables and obviously concluded that it reduced the incidence of bowel cancer. It found that eating fish lowered the risk and, as fatweed mentioned, that red meat increased the risk.

 | ****ers, what they shoudl say is "if you eat red meat and **** all veg - you will get bowel cancer". I'm sure everyone knows exectly what this does to your bowels. ive eaten red meat and **** all else before: result - you **** turns to toothpaste, and obvously cant be pushed out correctly. I worked this out from remembering how my sh1t was - it didnt cost me millions of government investment either. ****er media
