NO REALLY, WHERE DO YOU GET YOUR CANCER?

Once again the links between animal protein and cancer emerge from a clinical study. While the lede phrases it thusly, "a low-protein, low-calorie diet offers protection" against cancer, a quick look at the specs shows that the diet they mean is one with NO ANIMAL PROTEIN. Additionally, and notably, endurance runners - in other words, those getting plenty of exercise - who ate a more "moderate" amount of (animal) protein, had worse scores for cancer risk than the non-running vegetarians, meaning that exercise is no substitute for eating the right foods. Lead researcher Luigi Fontana said that "We hope to further clarify what happens to cancer risk when we are chronically eating more protein than we need."
