High Red Meat Consumption Linked to Colon
Cancer
(NY, Reuters Health, 1/11/05)
Dr. Michael J. Thun of the American Cancer Society in
Atlanta, and team, tracked 148,610 adults who had completed
lifestyle questionnaires in 1982 and again in 1992 or 1993.
The researchers found that the risk of developing colorectal
cancer was 50% greater for subjects with diets high in red
meat and processed meats than for those eating the least red
or processed meat. These findings suggest that it may be
wise to minimize the consumption of these foods.
