COLON CANCER FOR MEN WHO EAT RED MEAT

men who eat red meat (beef, pork, or lamb) as a main dish five or more times a week have four times greater risk of colon cancer than those that eat these meats less than once a month. This is the result of a broad statistic study conducted at the school of public health at Harvard university (Massachusetts USA). Eating 600gram (1.32 pounds) of red meat-but not white meat (Chicken) or fish-triples the amount of N-nitrous compound in the faces, which explains the carcinogenic effect of red meat on the colon, according to the Medical Research Council of Cambridge (UK). A high intake of animal fat also increases the risk of colon cancer
