Red meat consumption = increased lung cancer risk

Posted on Dec 12th 2007 1:22PM by Brian White
Eat a lot of read meat? As Adams explained earlier, in addition to the nice amount of chemicals and sodium nitrite in that meat (most likely, if it's commercially produced),you could be increasing your risk for lung cancer as well.

A new piece of research concluded that a decent dose of red and processed meats could be tied to increased cancer risk. To all those that have researched sodium nitrite in processed meats, this will come as no surprise.

Officially, the link between red meat (generally processed) and cancer is not 100% solid. Unofficially, there is most definitely a link of you've done the research. Will you still continue to eat red meat?

I won't, even if that red meat really, really tastes good.
