Based on how you feel about it?
I'd have to look it up, which I'm not inclined to do because I've put this issue behind me, and so should you.Illustrating the lack of science education of the average journalist, which is the real problem here, this is all you need to know:60,000 premature deaths worldwide attributed to this issue. That's out of the seven billion of us (or whatever the number is this year).Look up the risk of premature death for just about anything ... for example getting in your car is about 60 times more risky.I would bet the risk of premature death from eating animal protein that was not subject to this preservative treatment is probably many times greater simply due to bacterial multiplication that would naturally result.Move along folks ... nothing to see here.
... Unless of course you are in California where everything causes something.
Just an observation -- some of you guys are making the mistake of saying this is just one study, but this is a "study" of over 800 studies that have been conducted on the relationship between cancer and red meat or processed meat by a group experts from all over the world. This is NOT a typical research study.
No! The problem is gluten.....every single case of cancer is caused by gluten. I'm surprised WHO overlooked this important fact. https://youtu.be/Oht9AEq1798
I'm of the opinion that modern wheat is very bad, at least for me. I'm on a low carb diet (where I eat "processed meats" -- whatever those are) and every time I eat wheat, I develop allergies, acid indigestion, painful joints, chest congestion, etc. So, I keep my wheat eating to a minimum and only have wheat every once in a great while. (Pizza is my downfall.) If you want to read an interesting take on wheat, I recommend the following:http://www.amazon.com/Wheat-Belly-Lose-Weight-Health/dp/1609611543While I don't agree with everything in the book, there are some interesting highlights. For instance, randomized controlled trials where one group was given a drug used to prevent drug addicts from craving drugs and the other given a placebo. Both groups then ate wheat-based products. The people on the drug ate much less than the people on placebo. Why? Modern wheat causes xorphins to be generated, which are pleasurable and cause people to overeat. The drugs block that action.If WHO really wants to condemn something, they should condemn high carb diets and particularly sugar. Sugar causes many, many, many more cases of cancer than does meat.
My take is that WHO is completely clueless. The studies are ALL epidemiological, meaning they prove correlation not causation. The relative (not absolute) risk was incredibly small, on the order of 20% or so. WHO is anti-meat. So, they make statements to support their anti-meat agenda.
Just not true. I eat according to my blood type which is "O" and lean organic is what I eat. Never felt better. No wheat, no dairy and life is good. My doctor is puzzled but after reading Eating for your Type by Dr Peter Adamo , he has changed his opinion. My blood tests are great. Before eating veggies mostly I was in poor health. One size does not fit all.charles
The study is on processed meat only-ham, sausage, bologna etcRegular meat in OK.
There is a diet that changes the foods according the type of blood.
What is "regular meat?" It's all processed, unless you kill the chicken or catch the fish yourself and cook it.
