Has anyone heard that red meat has been linked to breast cancer?!
The study of more than 90,000 women found that the more red meat the women consumed in their 20s, 30s and 40s, the greater their risk for developing breast cancer fueled by hormones in the next 12 years. Those who consumed the most red meat had nearly twice the risk of those who ate red meat infrequently.

Answers: Younger women who regularly eat red meat appear to face an increased risk for a common form of breast cancer, according to a large, well-known Harvard study of women's health.

Recent news reports from the Food and Drug Administration in the United States indicate that meat companies sometimes use carbon monoxide to keep beef looking red and more attractive to consumers. While many doctors agreed that carbon monoxide used in small amounts is not unsafe, the concern is that it can cause even rotting meat to look red and fresh.
This is in addition to mounting meat-related concerns over the last several years, such as, the detrimental Mad Cow disease, or bovine spongiform encephalopathy, which can be lethal in humans; a concern that an increase in Mercury in certain types of fish can cause brain damage to fetuses and in young children; and, the most recent meat-related health threat, the Avian flu that is spreading through chickens and other birds.
Thanks for the posting. It is time to challenge and question the dairy and meat industries!
i have heard that, thats why everybody should be vegetarians!
but nooooooo nobody ever listens to me...
I know that some producers of milk use rBGH (cow bovine growth hormone) made by Monsanto in order to artificially increase milk production. This is thought to be linked to some cancers. It is not required to be labelled on milk containers if it is used or not.

I know that in older women, overweight (esp belly fat) makes more estrogen and that contributes to older women getting breast cancer.
according to most people in this day and age everything causes cancer i'm surprised breathing isn't under scrutiny

did YOU know that trying to convert everyone to your way of doing things can be hazardous to your health.
