One thing after another. "This" causes cancer, "that" causes cancer, "the other" causes cancer. Where's it gonna end?
The report hasn't been fully published yet but the headline scares are out.
As yet, there's no figures showing how many people they monitored to come up with the conclusion they did or over what period of time it was done or how many people in the study actually developed cancer. Also, there's (as yet) no conclusion of how many of those people would have developed cancer anyway or how such a study could have identified and eliminated those who'd develop the disease anyway, red meat or not.
I think it's highly irresponsible to rush in to print not only with the headlines but the report itself. Anyway, does anyone actually take any notice of such reports?
Lots of things we eat contain poison so should there be outrageously severe warnings about eating things like Apples and Almonds which contain Cyanide?
It's life Jim, but not as WE know it.
Live long and prosper.
