So maybe meat'll increase your chances, but going vegetarian doesn't make you immune. Personally, while I partake of the meat of the mighty Tofu beast more often than not, I'm *not* going to forsake my twice-monthy trip to In-n-Out just for a tiny infinitesimal decrease in my chances of getting pancreatic cancer... I'm gonna die someday anyhow, and likely of some cancer or another (pretty much everybody from Louisiana does, something to do with the air we breathe and the water we drink, duh), so I might as well enjoy life a *little* while I'm at it.<br /><br />- Badtux the Percentages PenguinBadTuxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01345749557330760251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7924773307171301256.post-5234932876744964092012-01-14T11:55:15.421-05:002012-01-14T11:55:15.421-05:00If this is the study I am remembering, there are a...If this is the study I am remembering, there are a lot of caveats. Was it the meat, or was it that modern meat production results in way more Omega 6 and not enough Omega 3 Fatty Acids? Was it the nitrites or other additives in the processed meats? Was it the salt used to process it? Was it some unknown factor introduced in industrial meat production? Does the way the meat was cooked have an impact? And finally, what if the actual cancer-causing agent was something most people were eating <i>with</i> the meat?<br /><br />In the end "meat is associated with cancer" is as vague and potentially misleading as "natural things are good for you."Bridget Magnushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05048808659359979258noreply@blogger.com
