"Red Meat Linked To Breast Cancer", Science Daily, April 8, 2007, Link: http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2007/04/070407174018.htm 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. > "Red Meat Linked To Breast Cancer", Science Daily, April 8, 2007, > Link: http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2007/04/070407174018.htm > > 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.

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 :-) Mary On Apr 10, 8:44 pm, "A.P.

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.) MH 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. > On Apr 10, 8:44 pm, "A.P.

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. Ann T.
