People consuming 76g per day of red or processed meat had 20% higher risk of bowel cancer

The department of health in the UK said that while meat is a good source of protein, vitamins and minerals, people should cut their intake of red and processed meat to about 70g per day, which is the average daily consumption in the UK. said there is strong evidence that eating processed meat is a cause of bowel cancer, while eating a lot of red meat also increases the risk.

There was some good news however, with those people having a high intake of fibre from bread and breakfast cereals lowering their risk of bowel cancer by 14 per cent. Existing evidence points to an increased bowel cancer risk for every 50g of processed meat a person eats per day, but the new study found that risk increases at just 25g per day.

“Although breaking habits we’ve had for a long time can be hard, it’s never too late to make healthy changes to our diet.

Really!!!!!

And your point is

When confronted with evidence that eating certain meat will cause bowel cancer, the logic of meat eaters: 'encouraging me to go plant based is a conspiracy and an agenda.' 😂

Partly funded by cancer research UK, who funded most of it I wonder?

Any chance the could do more than Copy & Paste stories from the PA? Reading a story written for the British press pasted into an Irish newspaper makes teh already shocking reporting of flawed research even worse with multiple mentions of NHS/UK etc... lazy

It's been known for years,big agricultural producers worked hard to keep it secret. People are dumb enough to think actually eating red meat is healthy. Even small amounts will increase your risk.

Of course it. Wouldn't be like the Liberal media to be pushing an anti farming agenda now would it.

Another conspiracy by Soros funded Big Vegan.
