Take home message:
This study adds clarification of the stroke risk from red meat and note that it is higher with processed meat compared to fresh meat. Processed meats contain nitrates and nitrites, which have are associated with cancer risk. They also have a high sodium content, which can increase blood pressure. Hypertension increases the risk of stroke. Both red and processed meat consumption has also been associated with an increased risk of colorectal cancer, stomach cancer, and possibly other cancers; in addition, they have been reported to increase the risk of type 2 diabetes

:shrug:To Asianthree. Sorry but please explain...Guess I don't get your response.

You left out the part about the charcoaled meats on the grill that has cancer causing agents.
Also some of the study didn't go into the fact that these people were eating 1 or 1 1/2 pound meat with potatoes, sour cream, mashed potatoes and gravy, etc etc. Get the idea.:what:

Sorry. I left out the part about the gallon of beer or wine or whisky.

and that eating 40 pounds a day or more of meat done on over charcoal can be bad for one!!!
