I eat a rump steak 5 times a week.Some none training people are bleeting on about the risks of Cancer with regards to eating too much red meat but if what i know is anything to go buy the WCRF study refered to Pork and processed meats as being the biggest risks.If at all.Not fresh Beef.Somebody give me some good ammo to help me fight my battle!

Not this again lol.

Firstly they are interpretting data. Theres no conclusive proof.

Quote:

Those who eat two portions a day - equivalent to a bacon sandwich and a fillet steak - increase their risk of bowel cancer by 35% over those who eat just one portion a week, the study found. The World Health Organisation's international agency for research on cancer (IARC) called for everybody to eat more fish and less meat.

^^ You're only eating one portion 5x a week so you fall out of the risk bracket.

Quote:

Colorectal cancer risk from eating red or processed meat on a regular basis (three ounces per day) is lower than the risk associated with obesity and physical activity

You are a physically active person, so your risk of most things automatically reduces.

It won't be the meat - it will be the Test/Progest/Growth hormones causing havoc when you deep fry the meat in 10 day old used vegetable oil...

Finally... This study was done as two surveys 10 years apart:

Quote:

The findings, published in this week's Journal of the American Medical Association (Vol. 293, No. 2: 172-182), are based on a long-term study of nearly 149,000 adults between the ages of 50 and 74. The participants filled out a questionnaire about their eating habits in 1982, and again in 1992/1993. Thun and his colleagues looked at how many people had developed colon cancer by 2001, then analyzed the risk according to how much red meat, poultry, or fish the people had eaten.

The study didn't include any vegetarians...

All studies are total bobbins if I'm honest. They are at best a set of opinions which agrees with some data. How accurate that data is ... well thats a different matter.

What I would say is the more red meat you eat, then more you would benefit from increasing your green veg comsumption.

tell them you could say the same thing about mobile phone use or aspartame intake - or living near an electricity pylon. at the end of the day there is no conclusive proof as far as i am aware of what exactly causes cancer. (okay maybe cigarettes? do any of these people smoke???)

im sure they are all in good health with a nutritionally balanced diet and not consuming too much alcohol each week?

I did actually avoid Aspartame quite exclusively but the avoidance issue is'nt so bad these days because i simply don't consume anything thats not made by mother nature anymore so i dont even think about it.But i know where you're coming from.The biggest ammo i have i guess is that their own diets are far from laudable and they're in no position to lecture me,being of peak physical and mental fitness.

start walking on all fours mooing at everyone chewing on a bit of grass, then explain mad cow disease got you first, so the other risks involved in eating it dont really matter
