Scientists confirm direct link between bowel cancer and red meat consumption

My late father was a butcher who was always brought back fresh meat for our family to consume it, mutton is his favourite meat. He died at the age of 87 involved in road accident..He was declared as healtheir man by our family doctor.

Those poor old women who don't know exercise or hardly exercise, smoke, eat anything including pickled canned veggies, can live until 90++.

Those white collar workers who exercise, healthy diets, join aerobic/yoga classes, jog regularly, non-smokers, give up their NRICs in their 50s/60s.

I think is STRESS that kills. More $$$, more Stress.

We must learn from the Thais, Only insects have no negative reports, let's eat insects & worms only ! haha.

Eat oso die, dun eat oso die, so u choose which one? EAT lah! siao...at least if gonna die then die with a full stomach, so won't become "hungry ghost" mah.

I got a relative who was very health conscious and only drink plain water also can get stomach cancer...anyway, life is so unpredictable these day. whatever we consume also have to died.
Anyway, just live life to its fullest. Cheers

Not only beef steak & pork chops, satay also impossible to give up.

I am just a layman and not an expert on food/nutrients so I hope you will bear with me.

I notice that in many restaurants where "Red Meat" in the form of steak is sold, some customers always prefer to have their steak "very rare". Sometimes you can see the blood from the steak oozing onto their plates. Can any expert advise me if eating "Red Meat" in such form is bad and should be avoided? Is this the reason why eating too much "red meat" can lead to bowel cancer?

BTW, on TLC Channel, one will be alarmed and disgusted to see what Andrew Zimermane (the fat bald-headed guy) and Anthony Boulderine ( the thin guy) eat. (I think I may have spelt their names incorrectly, pardon me). Sometimes, these guys eat all sorts of exotic meat raw and blood from the slaughtered animal is drunk without being boiled. I am just wondering when will these guys get bowel cancer!

Perhaps, eating steak "very rare" may be the trend in the West, but it may not be suitable for our environment and our life-style.

Anyway, one man's meat is another man's poison.

We have been eating chicken eggs since our ancestors time, everyone know that its is good for health. Remember more than decade ago the reseacher found that chicken egg is bad for our heart because high in cholesterol, they advised us to minimise when consume it. Nobody bother about it.
Now the sale s of chicken eggs is most, on top of the list.

What about "man meat"? Can the girl eat that and still avoid colorectal cancer - just as long as don't swallow?

Eat lean meat is OK, but not the fat. Not only can cause cancer , but clogging of blood vessel.

we dun eat, we die. we eat, we die.. haya for crying out loud!!! :p

PEACE! :))

Dont listen to doctors/scientists/politicians, not 100% - give a discount of what you heard by 60 to 70%. All the disease created by scientist in the labs sonsor by machines seller, drug companies to hook-wind everyone. These groups of people will tell you many things that they will not try. One word of advise, be moderate in what you do or eat. Do a lot of charity and touch the people with your love. It is God who gives us breathe of life, without it we died regardless of your health condition. Atheist/Gay are in choot with these same group who thinks of 3 things: power, greed and pleasures.

As long as you eat anything, which you carve for, in moderation, then everything should be all right.

I found that poor people are normally got long life than rich people because they can't afford to consume red meat almost everyday. They only can afford cheap food like vegetables.
Some of the poor people think the standard of living is very high to afford that they found it is meaningless to afford to live long life until 80 plus...but end up they still can managed to do so.
Maybe you can go to such places like Macperson and Chinatown area to find out more from those poor old folk what did they eat per day. =D

Fresh farm meat and Mass Industrialized Meat is like night and day.

My late father died in 1973 of colorectal cancer. He had about 40 cm of his large intestine
removed. He attributed this to eating too much of red meat. He has at least one meal
of char-siew everyday and very little of vegetables.
.

Let us pray and eat grass la.Like horse eats grass la.same la. so no more cancer.

I think this article about "Bowel Cancer" merely highlights about the root cause and prevention.

But the article failed to mentioned the key point that only certain group of people with a genetic disorder are more likely to get some form of cancer.

Hey i'm no doctor,but i know i am right if you have done enough fact searching through the internet.

Too late,till date I had already eaten more than a tonne of red meat liao .No meat I surely die or rather die.

Aiya, over at european, wasnt there a food issue too with the vegetables. Think it was gourds if i'm not wrong. Just eat everything in moderation.
