ONE MORE TIME: MEAT AND CANCER, PERFECT TOGETHER

"Eating large amounts of saturated fat or red meat may increase the risk of breast cancer," says the BBC. "Norman Boyd and colleagues at the Ontario Cancer Institute in Canada looked at 45 separate studies, involving 580,000 healthy women and 25,000 breast cancer patients. They analysed the data from these studies, taking into account other known and suspected risk factors for breast cancer. The researchers found that women who ate high amounts of saturated fat were on average around 20% more likely to develop breast cancer than women who ate low amounts." Not that this is news to most of us, but it's yet another confirmation.
