Red Meat and Breast Cancer: Long-Term Follow-Up Adds to the Evidence
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Sciences - Year 2014, Vol 17, Issue 1
Abstract
Intakes of animal protein, particularly meat has been associated with a higher risk of breast cancer and mortality in ecological studies, but data from long-term prospective studies are limited. Recently some more evidence has emerged linking high meat consumption with increased mortality. According to longer-term follow-up from the Nurses Health Study II, published in BMJ recently, high red meat consumption in early adulthood is associated with increased risk for breast cancer. This population-based cohort study links high intake of red and processed meat with increased deaths from all causes and from nine specific ones.
