Did you read what I wrote? I said "granted he was on a lot of gear" and for the fact, meat especially red meat is a carcinogen, you have to start reading literature outside the biased fitness industry, there's a wealth of information on what I said, from cardiologists to group tests from around the world doctors, scientists are showing overwhelming reports of our western diet vs healthier heart disease free nations. Where do you think heart disease comes from? Diabetes cancer etc. and now it's even linked to kidney failure and breast cancer, these studies have been years in the making. Our nation is the most unhealthy of the modern world, we over consume too much of one thing, and too much of anything is not good whether it be meat, supplements or whatever. We overindulge in red meat because protein? Is it killing us? Even the American institute of cancer research has said this.
The sharp pointy teeth mean nothing btw, lol. If you're saying we're natural born meat eaters then let me see you go bite into a deer and eat it raw and see what happens. Either one of two things will happen, either you'll die or you'll get sick. If you mention that's why we discovered fire and cook it before consuming...then my point is argued, we are NOT naturally born meat eaters, we have to clean it and cook it.
First link - news article giving a brief summary. China study with 64000 people. How do you think they can do a study that large? It's called a questionairre type study. Sorry, but I am not believing any study that makes assocations from questionaires.
"In China, the primary red meat is pork, accounting for 97 percent of red meat intake. Other popular protein sources included eggs, dairy, shellfish, fish, soy, legumes, and poultry"
2nd link - article talking about the SAME study as the first link
3rd link- This quote sums up the validity of that study "We found that women who ate the most red meat in adolescence or early adulthood had an increased risk of developing breast cancer later in life".
Please - I sure hope these women kept a food diary.
4th link- this is the only link that actually contains data that is correct. It mentions the cooking method - which can increase carcinogens .. I will not dispute that grilling at a high temperature and/or smoke can add carcinogens... that's a fact. However, we did co-evolve with fire so we are reasonably adapted to this. This can be mitigated as well.
That's why I asked - what is the mechanism behind red meat and cancer? There's only 1 that is likely and it's the cooking method... so therefore it's not the red meat. And, it would take a hell of a study to figure out how much additional risk a certain type of cooking method would add to your cancer risk. You know what? There's no money in that type of study so it will never happen.
The much bigger issue in this country is low grade systemic inflammation which is caused by a multitude of factors... stress, lack of sleep, toxins, diet, gut issues, infections, lack of movement etc.etc.. not red meat. not any 1 thing.
If there's any meat in this country people overeat it's chicken...
