There's very few good studies, though. Most of the studies that "prove" that meat is bad use fresh meats
and processed meats like hot dogs, or ingredients like processed casein, powdered eggs and milk.
That article is very hesitant about the findings, what with all the "
mays" and "
cans" thrown around.
Here's what was studied:
"Using specially bred mouse models that lacked the Neu5Gc molecule – mimicking humans before the molecule is absorbed into the body through ingesting red meat – the researchers induced tumors containing Neu5Gc, and then administered anti-Neu5Gc antibodies to half of the mice."
I don't find information gleaned from injected rats with special ingredients very compelling. How about feeding rats a diet of pork chops, liver, and salad, and then see how they do? LOL.
Dietary Fat, Especially From Red Meat, Dairy, Linked To Pancreatic Cancer"However, some experts suggest that while this is a good study that contributes to our understanding of the disease, it does not prove a link with animal fats per se (it could be some other dietary or lifestyle factor that is common to people who eat lots of animal fat)[...]"
People eating a SAD diet may also have other lifestyle issues contributing to cancer? Whoda thunk?
