Cancer Risks From Eating Red And Processed Meat

Playing both sides against the middle - Pigs vs. Cows.

"New findings provide evidence that people who eat a lot of red and processed meats have greater risk of developing bowel and lung cancer than people who eat small quantities."

Maybe. Maybe not.

"The researchers allowed for factors such as smoking that might have affected cancer incidence, but it remains possible that other life-style factors may have had an influence."

Now for the fun part - the cows vs. pigs cage match.

"The study's definitions of red meat and processed meat overlapped; bacon and ham, for example, were included in both categories. Thus, exactly which type of meat causes which type of cancer remains unclear."
