Yet another study has linked eating meat to cancer, but this time chicken was also linked to the disease. However, scientists were able to tease out more details about the association.
Dr. Xifeng Wu and colleagues at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston studied 659 patients just diagnosed with kidney cancer and compared them to 699 individuals without cancer. The researchers wanted to verify the link between meat and cancer, as well as determine what other factors might help explain it. They looked at the types of meat participants ate, how they cooked it, and whether the participants were genetically predisposed to kidney cancer.
The team reported in the journal Cancer that people who ate the most grilled red meat and chicken had a higher risk of kidney cancer. Participants with 2 genetic mutations were found to have the highest risk. [1]
“This study, and others like it, suggest that the way we cook our meat could potentially impact kidney cancer risk,” said Dr. Wu.
Susan Gapstur, vice president for epidemiology at the American Cancer Society, explains that certain cancer-causing chemicals called heterocyclic amines and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons are released by meat when it is cooked at high temperatures, some of which are linked to kidney cancer. The substances can change DNA and increase cancer risk. [2]
“This study offers some clues that meat cooked at high temperature might increase the risk for cancer, especially among people with certain genetic mutations,” Gapstur said.
The study only found an association between eating meat cooked at high temperatures and kidney cancer risk, not that grilling meat actually causes cancer. Previous studies based on detailed food questionnaires, however, have shown a link between an increased consumption of well-done, fried or barbequed meats and a higher risk of colon, pancreas and prostate cancer. Scientists have also said that cutting back on red meat consumption could prevent thousands of cases of colon cancer.
“A few previous studies have looked at kidney cancer and these carcinogens, but this is the first study to find an association between one of these specific mutagens (MeIQx) and kidney cancer risk,” says Dr. Wu.
MeIQx is one of the heterocyclic amines formed by high temperature cooking.
Interestingly, Wu and his colleagues also found that the people with genetic mutations also tended to consume more calories, less fruit and were more obese. Due to the fact that the researchers only surveyed non-Hispanic white adults, the results may not be relevant to other racial and ethnic populations.
The study comes one month after the World Health Organization (WHO) warned that red meat and processed meats – like bacon, cold cuts and sausage – can cause colon cancer. Eating processed meat was placed in the same risk category as smoking cigarettes.

After reading this article I can’t decide if I want a medium rare steak, roast chicken, barbecue chicken or pork chops. Decisions decisions.
This study was already done, but since they used a thousand to a million times the carcinogenic material in mice for their tests it was was determined not a valid research study.
Same as with all the gmo studies. Wow, you might have finally found your common sense!
Yes most of the studies on GMO’s are strictly provided and controlled by the corporate interests.
Good point.
Are you jumping the fence?
No but it sounds as if you are. Thanks for coming over the real side!!!
Thanks, but I’m married to a fine Woman.
I’m sure you will find someone, don’t give up.

Insult me all you want, now you are insulting my Wife, That will not be tolerated, I’ll defend her with my life.
You have crossed the line…
LOL, like your mommy would ever let you date, or like any real woman would put up with a mommies boy that pretends he was a vet.
Your 100% emotionally disconnected, you don’t care what you do or say.
Very sad indeed.
Remember this, My Wife is a Military Spouse,
She has spent years, many years, at home wondering and hoping her Husband is ok and will make it home, this is not specific to her, but All who have chosen to live that life. Through all of the news, suddenly having all of the domestic duties, She was the rock, I couldn’t have done it without her.
There are few who have lived the life of a Military Spouse and even fewer who know and respect the courage and dedication of these fine Citizens.
Your insults towards those who have lived their lives dedicated to a cause and tradition, is in my opinion a sad reflection of the mindset of the younger generation, and an even bigger insult to the pro GMO activists.
Anybody who degrades the struggles of the Spouses of our Nations servants has stooped beyond any rational forms of reality and communication.
Those who have served the Nation are a Family, 2 million + strong, your a disillusioned punk, with 8 friends, insulting one of the most advanced and technologically equipped Combat forces in the world.
From intelligence gathering to full on capabilities in the engagement of world or DOMESTIC threats and enemies.
I have been a combatant, willingly gave up my protected civilian status at the age of 20 years old. Your attempting to engage every Defender of freedom and insult the true strength, their spouses and Families, within this Nation.
You call me a moron and try to convince people here I’m lying.
Your the moron, insulting over 2 million + trained and battle tested personnel, that have a extremely advanced intelligence section. They all ready know who you are, they know everything about you. If you think otherwise your just fooling yourself. Go ask one of your Fascist Marxist professors, they will tell you, fire burns.
And you call me stupid, lmao..
You have already admitted that your wife is a blowup doll in your mommies basement so let’s not try to make this out for more than what it is.
Your a weak punk.
This is how low the Pro GMO activists will stoop, better wake up folks and fast.
What has this world come to, even the Military is scared.
I’ll stand alone, been there done that, got the coffee cup.
LOL, your imaginary service record just doesn’t count.
That’s very funny, because I can look at it anytime I want. I gave you the way to get me. But because I’ve actually served honorably, and you know it, You’ve got nothing else but your disturbing attacks on the Military members and their Family members.
Kind of like you saying you sell seeds, LMAO. You could have invented something better than that lie.
Your 100% pure activist fascist punk.
I’m not the one doing a blowup doll. You are the one throwing up claims and then pushed into a corner for proof can’t provide it. You have never been in the military and the closest you have ever been to a woman is your mommy and the blowup doll you have hidden in her basement. Does it even look like your mom since that is the one you still fantasize about?
You had better hope you stay hidden, protected.
Threats? Yes a typical bully tactic first accuse someone and then threaten them. More proof of your shameful behavior.
I don’t make threats, your assuming.
no you posted it for all to see. what a sad violent person you are. No wonder the best you can do is a blowup doll.
I had posted this in another thread, Stinky is fully empowered now, he will say anything. Then he escalated his insults, lmao.
Threat?
Fact, if you insult a Man’s Family to his face, 75% of the time it won’t end well.
Now, if you would like to explain, how some unknown internet poster has brought you to be so scared?
By the way, I’m sorry that I scared you.
Next…
Are you ready?
You know I really do tire of bullies like yourself that pretend to have been something special like in the military when the only thing you have done is stay in mommies basement.
Logical Fallacy,
Your the one attacking innocent Family members, ie Bullying.
You attempt to
draw me into emotional response without discussion of the issues. If you
have something useful to contribute which defeats my argument, let’s
here it — preferably without snide and unwarranted personal attacks, if
you can manage to avoid sinking so low. Your useless rhetoric serves no
purpose here if that is all you can manage. Why do you refuse to
address the issues by use of such disinformation tactics
You are the only one that does that. Anyone that lies as much as you do and disgraces veterans by pretending to be one, all the while totally opposing our government that you claim to have protected. LOL, you are nothing but a joke. Go back to your blowup doll.
You are nothing but a joke. Go back to your million dollar in-debt failure imaginary seed selling business.
Lol, I will be back there soon enough. Still can’t figure out why you think I sell so much seed, but then you are impaired when it comes to learning. So tell us more about your blowup doll and how she waits patiently for you to come home from the paint ball wars your mommy set up for your birthday. I bet she is almost in tears waiting to see if you survived.
Retraining, crisis management?
Good, I truly hope it does some good.
Your a rather disturbed person, not somebody that I’d want on my team. You would create too many unforeseen problems.
LOL, strange how most of my day is spent fixing problems not creating them. You never get much right do you.
Talk is cheap, your comments have many implications.
Your a danger to any established team, your a Blue Falcon.
I would have you on permanent detail.
Yes I know in your GI Joe imaginary army that you would use to overthrow the government with I would be on permanent KP duty. I guess you will need someone to cook for you after mommy is gone since your blowup doll can only perform certain duties for you.
KP is easy, plus they feed you. I would be more creative and ensure it didn’t have any perks there Blue Falcon.
Your continued comments about 1 person overthrowing the US are absolutely hilarious and truly display your grasp on reality, not to mention your attitude of the Nations Defenders.
I already know what you think of their Families, since you have no problems with insulting them also.
Only one I have insulted is you and that is because you only pretend that you are a defender, when ask for simple confirmation you refused. I think you said it best there doll lover – talk is cheap.
Same, you have provided nothing but a mentally disturbed concept of reality. Again, never ask someone to do something you are not willing to do.
I’m sure if I posted anything, based on your displays, my Family would be in immediate danger. I’m sure you have some sort of rather distasteful affiliations your hiding.
Never ask someone to do what you won’t? Then why do you ask mommy to cook and clean?
Lack of any opposition teaches bullies simply to go for more. But it takes one person, an individual, to start the opposition.
Bully? Just because I asked for proof? LOL, you are funny. I bet that blow up doll is just in stitches over your sense of humor!
Meat-eating hmmm….boon or bane?
When I saw the draft which was of
7159 dollars, I accept that my friend’s brother was like really generating cash
in his spare time with his computer. . His aunts neighbor has done this for
only 10 months and by now repaid the loan on their home and bought a new Car
.This is what they are donig …

The solution is not to stop eating beef nor chicken. The solution is to eat grass fed beef and free range chicken meat that is free of antibiotics, synthetic cancer causing estrogens, herbicides, etc. AND cook your meat SLOWLY so as to avoid generating heterocyclic amines. We cooked our 18 pound turkey for 12 hours at 200 degrees yesterday…………far moister and tasted fantastic!
Time to stop buying into the NWO “meat is bad and unsustainable” garbage agenda, which is part of the greater control everything the serfs eat, drink and think.
STOP BEING A NWO SLAVE!
