I knew they had linked diets containing large quantities of red meat to a higher incidence of colon cancer in populations, citiing US rates vs rates in SE Asia. I did not know there was a push to include it as a category one. There are a lot of variables to consider...
Not enough to stop me from eating beef, sorry. I HAVE reduced my consumption over the past 10 years or so, but that's driven more by a desire to keep cholesterol under control than a cancer concern.
well, I wasn't planning to stop, but would definitely want to look at reducing the processed meat category.
