Eating Red Meat Twice Weekly May Up Cancer Risk Nearly 20%

.
The cancert risk from red meat is nowhere near risk from smoking(which is 1000%).
WHO put alcohol, asbestos and cigarettes into same list but the risk factors vary a lot. They themselves ask people not to be alarmed.
 
.
We will eat meat big time if hindus don't like it it is not our problem. It's not our problem if Hindus considered cows as God lol . . . . . .
 
.
Hahahaha and we Indians are made fun of for banning beef. Guess we are at a lesser risk of having cancer then.

ps: Just joking
Nope, you are made fun of because in India hindus and Sikhs consume more beef than Muslims but only Muslims get lynched for beef that "they have not eaten". And by the way India is one of the largest exporter of beef... so keep it sealed.

I am vegetarian -- not strickly like some one start quoting me for consuming milk product or honey or something like that, and recomend everyone to be vegetarian but strangely there is lot of attraction of people toward non-veg. I tried lot of time to eat non-veg but fails so I ask the meat lovers few question :-

1. Does the taste of Meat is such a great than the veg items
2 Why do I feel reluctant in putting just one piece in my mouth.
3. Are human naturally vegetarian or non vegetarian.
4. If you haven't learned to eat meat from your parents from the kid, what would you have been veg or non veg


Thanks
You should try , I eat almost everything except beef ,pork & lamb is my favorite ,I used to know a guy who come from strict Brahman family of vegis & never tried it in his life until me & my friend made him back in hostel days , he found the taste so good he never stop eating again, all this moral of killing animals is stupid as plants this veggie eat also have life

Why don't you check my other post before shooting me that question. See what my morality says. And why your morality stops you eating other animal, including dog, rat, donkey. And beside plants having life, read my earlier post for that answer.

Show me the reason and I promise I will eat -- benifit and why is it better than bieng veg.

thanks and regards.

Good and sensible reply but few counter question

1 If yes and big yes, Is this taste is with the Spices which is obviously from plants or RAW. If with the combination of Spices and other integredants, than why couldn't the other veg Items could be made taste better.

2. My mental block is not only due to what I am eating, but also I am causing someone to kill other organism. After all everyone have the right to live and survive. I don't feel anything when the tiger kills and eat deer or its victim but problem when human tries to pretend to be on the top of the food chain, looking at the others like tigers, lion during its evolution, but don't want to be pretend vulture and other scangivorous animal. So does your mental block will stop you from eating the meat who is half eaten and killed by a dog.

3. Omnivorous -- So why didn't we developed canines in our interstine, and nails to and sharp teeth during evolution. Why we need to process or cook before eating.

4. Food habit could be influenced by the watching others, their is no harm in coping with the environment, to survive, but practically when the conditions are favorable we could check the economical, environmental, medical, and philosophical issues.

1. What made Maradona a great player, talent or hardwork, or both? Can just anybody become Maradona with hard work and training? Let's just say that no matter how many spices you use, no vegetable has the talent to taste as good as similarly well cooked non-veg dishes. :D Also remember that unlike veggies, non-veg eaters also eat veg and know the difference.

2. Mental block is subjective, if it is about right to live and survive, then there will be barely anything left to eat for us. We all destroy life forms to survive, this is how nature works. A non-veg eater feels as much pain and guilt while savoring kababs as a vegetarian feels while savoring palak paneer or aloo-gajar ki sabzi, or a vegan feels while eating some daal-roti or rice. All the foods were once alive, and they were killed to feed us. :)

3. Hmm..we do have different teeth to bite, tear, and chew meat, and an intestine to digest it. Cooking is a fairly new inventions, but large primates like chimpanzees, Gorilla and Baboons do eat meat.

4. Again, these economical, environmental, medical, and philosophical issues are subjective, haven't you seen environmentalists travelling in AC cars and living in AC rooms showing zero regards for the environment? We use mobile phones or burn petroleum/coal fully knowing the environment and health hazard. The best way to live is in remotest villages with no electricity, internet, TV etc., and doing natural organic farming, how many is willing to do that?

There is nothing right or wrong about veg and non-veg food, it's all about individual perception.

Vegetarian diet make you week, the reason why India yet to produce a world class athlete or for that matter a fast bowler, lets not even talk about the malnutrition in this country the result of high vegiterain diet with Dismal level of protein & other minerals vital for the development of brain & body resulting in low IQ turds go figure

Most people don't eat all types of meat, and most people don't eat all types of veg, it's about food habit one is comfortable with. Non-veg foods have their own benefits, vegetarians talk about excessive eating and related health hazards....I don't understand why veggies want to promote their food habit like a religion or communism kind of way...there is no reason to preach or claim any kind of superiority over non-veg eaters.

Most people don't like all vegetables taste, but definately can eat all but I could not understand why all Non-veg gives so much therory, but when comes eating, they are stuck to few meat. Why can't they eat all meat after meat is a meat, made up of fibrous tissue and left over blood.

Eating Red Meat Twice Weekly May Up Cancer Risk Nearly 20%

View attachment 269292

Days after the World Health Organization classified red meat as a probable human carcinogen, new research has strengthened the link between red meat consumption and cancer.

A University of Oxford study discovered that participants who ate four servings of red meat a week were 42 percent more likely to develop colorectal cancer than those who had one serving or none at all. Participants who ate red meat at least twice a week were 18 percent more likely to develop colorectal cancer than vegetarians.

The study, which will be presented Tuesday at a conference for the National Cancer Research Institute, tracked the meat-eating habits of more than 500,000 British men and women aged 40 to 69. (Researchers didn’t quantify the amount of each serving — they only tracked how often people ate meat.)

Surprisingly, the research did not find a link between eating processed meats and an increased risk of colorectal cancer, though the World Health Organization (WHO) identified processed meats as a “known human carcinogen” last week, citing one of the top reasons as its link to colorectal cancer. The WHO experts concluded that each 50-gram portion of processed meat (less than 2 ounces) eaten daily increases the risk of colorectal cancer by 18 percent.

According to the American Cancer Society, colorectal cancer is the third most common cancer diagnosed in men and women in the U.S. More than 93,000 Americans will be diagnosed with colon cancer in 2015 and nearly 40,000 will be diagnosed with rectal cancer, the organization says.

Lead study author Kathryn Bradbury, PhD, a nutritional epidemiologist at the University of Oxford, tells Yahoo Health that there may be a few compounds in red meat that explain the link with bowel cancer.

“Cooking meat produces heterocyclic aromatic amines (HAA), which are suspected carcinogens,” she says. “Red meat also contains haem iron and, when eaten, this leads to the formation of N-nitroso-compounds (NOC), which again are suspected to be carcinogenic.”

The message is simple, Bradbury says: If you’re big on eating red meat, it’s a good idea to cut back.

Bradbury’s findings come at an interesting time for meat consumption.

The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), a research division of the World Health Organization, announced last week that processed meats such as bacon, sausage, ham, and hot dogs cause cancer.

The organization also identified red meat as “probably carcinogenic,” meaning it’s likely to cause cancer as well.

Processed meats were classified as a Group 1 carcinogen to humans, in the same group as smoking tobacco and asbestos exposure. Substances in this group have “sufficient evidence” of carcinogenicity in humans, according to the IARC.

The IARC defines processed meats as “meat that has been transformed through salting, curing, fermentation, smoking, or other processes to enhance flavor or improve preservation.” Most processed meats contain pork or beef, it adds, but may also contain other red meats, poultry, offal (organs and entrails of an animal), or meat by-products.

Popular processed meats include sausage, jerky, bacon, hot dogs, and kebabs, along with everyday lunchmeat such as ham, salami, corned beef, pastrami, and bologna, as well as canned meats and packaged meat-based sauces.

Red meats include beef, veal, pork, lamb, mutton, horse, and goat.

The organization said that the individual risk of developing colorectal cancer from eating processed meats is “small” but increases with the amount of meat a person eats.


The panel also determined that eating 100 grams of red meat per day (about 4 ounces) may raise a person’s risk of colorectal cancer by 17 percent.

“This association was observed mainly for colorectal cancer, but associations were also seen for pancreatic cancer and prostate cancer,” the organization said.

The WHO declaration is one of the most aggressive stances taken by an international health organization and is, thereby, highly controversial — even within WHO itself. According to the Washington Post, the panel decision was not unanimous and is expected to face criticism within the United States, where processed and red meat still forms the base of most meals and is backed by a powerful lobbying industry.

Well I'm as good as dead.
So this week I switched from lamb to duck. Now all I have to do is find a pork substitute.

So its now salmon, chicken, pork, duck, turkey, shrimp (occasionally).

Who cares? Meat still has more benefits than it has harm.

With GM and pesticides and arsenic in fish, antibiotics in chicken, carcinogenic red meat, best to grow your own vegetables and keep some chickens in your backyard. I guess in the future, food will be so contaminated that only lab grown food and meat will be deemed safe to eat.
