Fw: Breaking Medical News: Red Meat and Dairy Products Significantly Increase Risk of Pancreatic Cancer

[Guest guest]

Here's more grist to the mill as far as our choice of a veggie diet is

concerned (quite apart from all the philosophical and ethical reasons which I

and others might have). Always nice to be reinforced in what we have chosen as

good!

 

Best, Pat

Breaking Medical News: Red Meat and Dairy Products Significantly

Increase Risk of Pancreatic Cancer

Red Meat and Dairy Products Significantly Increase Risk of Pancreatic Cancer

According to a new study, fat from red meat and dairy products is associated

with increased risk of pancreatic cancer. As part of the National Institutes of

Health-AARP Diet and Health Study, researchers followed and analyzed the diets

of more than 525,000 participants to determine whether there is an association

between dietary fat and pancreatic cancer. This same study found no association

between plant-food fat and pancreatic cancer.

Well, I don't think that's what they were saying LOL But just that red meat and

dairy _increase_ the risk of pancreatic cancer. Poultry and fish/seafood might

well cause other problems (as many of us have read elsewhere) but that wasn't

what their study was about. Right?

Source of the data and all that would be in the journal cited:
