the baconator is surely a hard-hitting meat product when it comes to cancer, according to research[/caption]If you are a meat eater, new international research about the relationship between meat and cancer might want you to rethink what you eat and the frequency of it, as the results are dramatic enough to worry even the most avid meat and potatoes person.
A study encompassing 87 countries reveals that smoking as well as eat meat and drinking alcohol all have the strongest correlations with the incidence of cancer. The results have been assembled by the International Agency for Research on Cancer of the World Health Organization. Their conclusions are sufficiently definitive to cause serious concern. They were offered in a recent press release to journalists.
The animal index includes meat, milk, fish, and eggs. The research has found that eating meat products has as much correlation to cancer as smoking. Alcohol has a somewhat smaller correlation.
But men and women differ in those correlation figures. According to the reports, " For males, the smoking index was twice as important as the animal product index, while for females, the animal product index was twice as important. These two factors explained 70% of the variation in all cancer less lung cancer rates between countries. The range for these cancers for males extends from 75 to 300 cases/100,000/year, while that for females extends from 80 to 260 cases/100,000/year."
Types of cancer related to meat consumption, alcohol and smoking Animal product consumption had the strongest correlation which female breast cancer and cancers that include corpus uteri, kidney, ovarian, pancreatic, prostate, testicular, thyroid cancer, and multiple myeloma. Scientists tell us the reason for the correlation that is high with animal products is because those products promote growth of the body, including tumors, as tumors through production of insulin-like growth factor.
The rate of cancer is growing considerably in Japan where people are smaller and where meat is becoming increasingly part of the diet.
The results of the international study are remarkable. So if you are one of those contemplating becoming a vegan, or have a friend announcing he or she has become one, then you have reduced your risk of having cancer by eating foods that don't have the correlations to cancer.
