NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - Women who eat a lot of meat, particularly red or processed meats, may be more likely to develop breast cancer, according to a large study of British women. Researchers found that among 35,372 women, between the ages of 35 and 69 years old, who were followed for 8 years, those who ate the largest amount of meat were more likely than non-meat eaters to develop breast cancer before or after menopause. The link was stronger among postmenopausal women, with red and processed meat seeming to particularly raise their risk of breast cancer. Women who ate the most red meat (2 or more ounces per day) were 56 percent more likely to develop breast cancer than the women who ate no red meat. Meanwhile, those who ate the most processed meat (more than three quarters of an ounce per day) showed a 64-percent increase in their risk of the disease. story

So you worry that meat will give you breast cancer unless you have your own meat?

He died after slipping on ice and sustaining a major head injury.

You're right.. He did fall and it looks like that caused his death....but his diet certainly didn't help him.. "However, revelations in February 2004 from the city medical examiner's report let slip the information that Atkins had suffered a heart attack, congestive heart failure, and hypertension, before his death."

Who was the famous health food nut and was on tv and said that we could eat pinecones...some parts are edible. Then there was the Adele somebody lady who died of malnutrition. I don't eat meat or fat, but,goodness knows, it's not solely for health reasons. It's a cheaper way of life, and you can eat the things you really like...Cheese, bread, potatoes..fruits, etc. and rubarb (MHW )

For the record, I expected this thread to be about something entirely different.

You know, that never even crossed my mind until Shot helped...
I must be slipping. I need to get my mind out of the gutter and back in the sewer where it belongs.
