Meat And Colorectal Cancer Risk: Scientists Suggest Potential Mechanisms

Nitrates/nitrites are bad again.

Scientists in the US who undertook a large study to investigate what biological mechanisms might be behind the already established link between colorectal cancer and consumption of red and processed meat, confirmed that such a link exists and suggested the main players are three compounds: heme iron, nitrate/nitrite, and heterocyclic amines.

Interesting, since they were good here and here.

Still think they have any idea what a "healthy" food is?
