Red meat linked to breast cancer

November 14, 2006 · 1 comment

Researchers at Harvard University have released a study showing a link between the consumption of red meat and breast cancer.

The study of more than 90,000 women found that the more red meat the women consumed when they were in their 20s, 30s and 40s, the greater their risk for getting breast cancer fueled by hormones in the next 12 years. Those who consumed the most red meat faced nearly twice the risk of those who ate red meat infrequently.

Another reason to go veg! ;-)

    i agree this is good new for vegs (being a veg myself), although as with most medical "reports", theyre trying to prove causality. i would suspect the link is actually in the hormones the animals were treated with, and not the animal meat itself. this "causality" link was previously established in dairy products which spurred the market to go organic (at least for milk).
