Diet can increase risk of kidney cancer

Reporting nonsense; trying to have it both ways.

"Eating red meat may increase a person's risk of developing the most common type of kidney cancer, while eating vegetables may provide a protective effect, new research in the Journal of the American Dietetic Association shows.

Principal investigator Dr. Nabih R. Asal of the University of Florida, Gainesville and associates also found that people who ate lots of white bread and white potatoes were at greater risk of the disease than their peers who ate these foods less frequently. The relationship was particularly strong among women.

In an interview with Reuters Health, co-author Suzanne Dolwick Grieb said it's possible these foods could boost cancer risk because of their high glycemic index. Glycemic index indicates how quickly blood glucose rises after eating a particular food. 'Foods that have a high glycemic index are known to affect insulin resistance and also insulin-like growth factors,' Grieb noted. 'Those two things have been implicated in other cancers.'"

Here is the problem.

The glycemic index of meat is very low.

And they are blaming "Foods that have a high glycemic index" for the cancer.

Still think that they have any idea of what they are talking about?
