Red Meat Linked To Breast Cancer

"Red Meat Linked To Breast Cancer", Science Daily, April 8, 2007,

Eating red meat increases a woman's chance of developing breast
cancer, according to new research from the University of Leeds.

The findings are most striking for post-menopausal women - those with
the highest intake of red meat, the equivalent to one portion a day
(more than 57 grams) - run a 56 per cent greater risk of breast cancer
than those who eat none.

Women who eat the most processed meat, such as bacon, sausages, ham or
pies, run a 64 per cent greater risk of breast cancer than those who
eat none.

Researchers at the University's Centre for Epidemiology and
Biostatistics have been tracking the eating habits and health of more
than 35,000 women for the past seven years, and their latest findings
are published in the British Journal of Cancer. Earlier findings,
widely reported in January, showed that pre-menopausal women who have
the greatest intake of fibre have cut their risk of breast cancer in
half.

can't blame this for mine, ate red meat ONE time (1986) since the
mid-1970s.

It's interesting that in the last week there have been four reports of
research study at the University of Leeds. The latest, yesterday, was about
the story of King Alfred and the cakes. It seems that it could have been
political spin - but don't ask me how, I've forgotten.

I'm interested in the number of reports they've been wheeling out because I
live in Leeds :-)

And I've been eating broccoli almost daily for decades - a supposedly
cancer inhibiting food. I still eat it simply because it's one of the
few vegetables I can stand but I don't place a great deal of weight
on diet anymore - too many other factors can trump it. (Not
downplaying the role of diet - just gives one pause.)

and I have eaten soy every day for 5-6 years.....kept menopause at bay and
now I wish I hadn't!

almost no cow's milk.....plenty of mercury and cadmium (via tuna).....not
enough veggies or fruit.....blueberries important...I do eat almonds every
day and have for years.....and dark chocolate.....it's easy to be cavalier
about diet until the big C (or even little C) invades.

Not me. Darn close to never touch the stuff. I prefer to eat things that
humans have been eating for generations, and stay away from manufactured
weirdness. Mostly doesn't even taste good, especially "goodies" that
involve fake fat, fake sugar, etc. Yeah, I'm overweight, but I did it the
old-fashioned way <g>.

Seriously: I think weight management and excess alcohol consumption were
things I did that increased my breast cancer risk.
