Meat is death

WASHINGTON (Reuters) -- People who eat a meat-laden diet have more than triple the average risk of esophageal cancer and double the risk of stomach cancer, researchers reported Thursday.

The report adds to several studies that link eating meat, especially red meat such as beef, with certain cancers. Colon cancer has been the most strongly linked with a high-meat diet.

A study of people living in Nebraska found that those who ate the most meat had 3.6 times the risk of esophageal cancer and double the risk of stomach cancer when compared to people eating what the researchers considered a healthy diet.

People who ate a lot of dairy products, who tended also to eat a lot of meat, had double the risk of both cancers, the researchers report in the January issue of the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition.

Mary Ward, Honglei Chen and colleagues at the National Cancer Institute, Tufts University in Boston and elsewhere surveyed 124 people with stomach cancer, 124 people with esophageal cancer and 449 people who did not have cancer.

They asked detailed questions about their eating habits, then characterized their diets as being "healthy," "high meat," "high milk," high in salty snacks, heavy on desserts and heavy on white bread.

The so-called healthy diet had the highest amounts of fruits, vegetables and whole grains and generally matched the government recommendations that people eat at least five servings of fruit and vegetables a day, up to 10 servings of grains, breads and pasta and just two to three small servings of meat.

The healthy eating group -- 21 percent of those surveyed -- also generally ate the fewest calories.

"In contrast with this healthy dietary pattern, the high-meat dietary pattern included much higher intakes of meats and much lower intakes of fruits, bread and cereals," the researchers wrote in their report.

They said 33 percent of stomach cancer patients and 35 percent of esophageal cancer patients ate either the high-meat or high-milk diets.

since it is high meat - specifically red meat and milk - could it trace back to chemicals and steriods that are used instead of the actual diet of meat and milk?

Beef - it's what's for dinner!
Then there are the 67% and 65% of those cancer patients who ate what??? Maybe they didn't eat enough meat & dairy products.

As far as products used to promote feed conversion early on in the feedlot time - use is closely monitored and tests are conducted for illegal residues in meat for human consumption.

100% of people who ever died of cancer were also exposed to dihydrogen monoxide at leat one time in their life, and it is a legal food additive. Dihydrogen monoxide is even allowed to be used on crops labeled as 'organically grown' despite never proven safe by the FDA and is a major ingredient in pesticides and herbicides.

Oh Bovine, Where Art Cow?
Remember the scene when Baby Face Nelson picked up the boys, and the cops were casing him, and he had George Clooney hold the wheel while he stood outside the moving car and shot his tommygun at the cops, and he saw and shot at the cows and exclaimed "I hate cows."?

My reason for not eating meat is because I don't like it and I found that my body runs better on non animal sources of protein.

NEW YORK (CNN) -- Nutrition expert and author Dr. Robert Atkins, creator of the high-protein/low-carbohydrate "Atkins Diet," was released Wednesday from hospital care and is resting well after his heart stopped, a condition called cardiac arrest.

Eat meat = DEATH.

Now more details are coming out...

He had cardio-myopathy, a bacterial infection of the heart. The disease was not caused by diet, just the opposite.

A high protein diet is suggested as part of treatment. A vegan diet probably would have killed him.
