Cut Back on Red Meat to Avoid Colon Cancer

just have to take the risk. got to have all the good meat

I agree that any red meat and processed meat is not good for anyone. Once in a while is ok. We have had two incidents of colon cancer in our family and we have kept ourselves far from red meat.

my uncle, who contracted colon cancer, swears it was from eating very well done red meat, almost burnt.

stopped eating red meat 1 1/2 yrs ago and don't miss it at all; in fact, when I get near enough to smell it after it's cooked, it stinks.

i love red meat espically beef i like it rare though i wonder if that makes a difference?

Great. Bought a half a cow in April and put on 20 pounds trying to finish it by next year. Then, what about the 70 pounds of kielbasa and hot sausage I make for Easter and Christmas every year. Good thing pops is 80 and still lovin it. Kinda gives me hope since even my total cholesterol level is below what the doc said he gets from most after treatment. And I don't think eating salad would have turned me into a 6'2 250 pound machine. I love cooking (believe it or not, even more than eating) and can never turn down opportunities for creations involving meat.

I my neice became a victim of colon cancer. She lost her the ability to use the bathroom and has to depend on a stoma and a little plastic bag. I am happy for Connie that she is still alive and that she was able to have a little boy before she got sick. His Dad is a Greek man who she met in Ft. Wayne Indiana. She split up with him shortly after the little boy was born. The little boy's name is Demitrius Smeltzer. He is a sweet little guy what I remember of him. Connie Augusta was born on Halloween and is nearly 35 when ahe came down with the cancer. She is cured of it now I am glad to say and she hasnt had a relapse yet. She used to be a bartender at a bar in Ft Wayne, Indiana. She mostly ate fast food (cheeseburgers and french fries) and she wouldnt eat it slowly but think that this had something to do with her colon cancer i cannot help but have suspicions that if Connie had not eaten so much fast food and eaten it slower she would not have gotten colon cancer. It is bad that she got it but I think she got taught a lesson. It was very ironic that she got it and it was taught to her by a God/Goddess that cares. I love you all equally Kathy

all red meat is not the same. they are referring to grain-fed beef and need to be specific in their type of meat. grass-fed beef is healthy and lean and includes the cancer fighting cla's. check out your local area for farmer's selling natural grass-fed beef. not only is it healthy, but the flavor is amazing.
