    Red meat kills is a well known fact ... I went in a field and this great big lump of red meat with hooves chased me, if it had caught me then I would have been dead

    Love stuff like this - I honestly believe that if you were to collect all the food scare stories together and follow them, you would actually not be able to eat anything at all.

    Saw that advertised on TV tonight.

    I wouldn't be surprised if it were true, but as you said, with the number of foods which are one day great for us and suddenly toxic the next, it's best not to read too much in to it.

    Next it will be oxygen - it's bad for you, don't leave the house11!!111 ;)


    love your line "Next it will be oxygen-it's bad for you don't leave the house!".........this is just what I needed to laugh, thanks

    I bet this study had an agenda. I bet the researchers are vegans, lol.

    Red meat is PART of a balanced diet. It provides many minerals and nutrients we need. It also brings happiness :)

    I've been reading about the bad effects of overeating, drinking, dieting, smoking and sex. I decided to give up reading.

    ******Breaking News******

    Scientists have discovered that the leading cause of death is being born. Based on the observation that 100% of persons born in the 19th century have since died it has been determined that there is a direct correlation between being born and dying.



    This is a good one. Very true :)

    Watch a movie called Forks Over Knives on Netflix.

    I quit all meet except chicken some time ago. It took quite some time for the transformation to happen, but I eat mostly a plant based diet.

    I bought $65 in groceries the other day. $20 was chicken, $45 was all fresh fruit and vegis and that is all I had to eat for the week. It's fabulous once you get it rolling!!

    "People are starving all over the world, what do you mean, 'red meat will kill you'? Don't eat no red meat? No, don't eat no GREEN MEAT. If you lucky enough to get your hands on a steak, bite the s**t out of it!"

    There is actual real evidence to suggest that eating too much processed red meat, particularly smoked bacon and sausages, can increase the risk of bowel cancer. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15956652?dopt=Abstract. But if you just have your bacon sandwich with granary bread containing lots of fibre then you'll be fine.

    A good overview of diet and cancer http://info.cancerresearchuk.org/cancerstats/causes/lifestyle/diet/#source37

    It really is everything in moderation and making healthy choices. The most important thing to prevent deaths from bowel cancer is to see you doctor if you have a change in your bowel habit (particularly getting diarrhoea) or blood in your poo.

    The Daily Mail (a daily paper in the UK) is famous for finding things that cause cancer. Go to http://kill-or-cure.heroku.com/ before you eat or do anything to work out your chances

    here is a link to the table data regarding lifestyle. There seem to be a bunch of other correlating factors?

    Did they run an ANOVA on all the variables? I would be interested to see the correlations.

    Honestly, it reads like they went in LOOKING for it to happen. As such, I am doubting they did much work on restricting other variables or spending time figuring the correlation of other variables on the mortality rates.

    With what they feed the animals and the pesticides they use on crops also what is used in processing foods is enough to kill everyone. And I believe it is the cause of so many disceases today. When you have to have some types of lab work done they will tell you not to eat red meat for 3 days or a week before. I have thought about stop eating meats all together just eating nuts, fruits and veggies. But it is kinda hard so I eat mostly chicken and fish even tho at one time it was not supposed to be safe to eat that. So I would say go on and eat it if you want ,but in moderation.
