How many of you knew you could get cancer just by eating meat?

You are taking a single line of research and are simplifying and misinterpreting it. There are many kinds of cancer with many causes. Some are known, some unknown, some have multiple causes, etc.That's why cancer research is so slow and why there has been no quick and simple cure.

Medical research estimates that about 15% of cancers are caused by viruses. Among the viruses that can cause cancer are various avian viruses that normally cause birds to fall ill but when transferred to humans can sometimes cause cancer. This has recently been shown to be a possible risk to poultry workers if proper precautions are not taken.

Here is some of what the Tulane University Medical Journal says: "Viruses are known to cause about 15 percent of human cancers. Human papilloma virus causes cervical cancer and hepatitis B virus causes liver cancer. The causes of most human cancers are as yet unknown, but researchers are investigating whether viruses might contribute to other forms of cancer, such as breast cancer.

However, even if avian viruses are found to cause cancer in humans, thorough cooking effectively kills them. Care should be taken when handling raw chicken, which should not come in contact with any cuts or scrapes that the handler might have. Johnson also suggests that measures should be taken to protect poultry workers from the viruses.

" Interestingly, a different chicken virus appears to be an agent to fight cancer by producing an anti-tumor protein. You are jumping to an absurd conclusion in claiming that all meat carries cancer inducing virus, that is simply not true. Furthermore, cooking kills viruses.

That's an important consideration in all food eating, so don't confuse people. Also, there is no particular reason to believe that vegetables or fruits are virus free, there are plenty of plant viruses. They are just as likely to be linked to human cancers in future research as other viruses.

Worse, vegetables are often eaten raw, which really is a way catch both viral and bacterial diseases. And, also interestingly, some plant viruses are being investigated as agents to fight cancer.In summary, viruses with their dangers and possible benefits are not all the same, they are not limited to meat, and if you are worried about viruses cook your food at the recommended temperatures.

Nowadays, with the abundance in pollution, manufactured foods, many manufactured products and the like, if you do anything in excess it can cause cancer or kill you. Leaving a bottle of water in the car in the summer too often could kill you. Microwaving things in plastic could...eventually kill you.

Heck, a couple of years ago (relatively), watching TV was hazardous to your health because of the xrays that the TV was shooting out. So I'm not the least bit surprised that eating meat can cause you to get cancer. I am a strong proponent of trying the live the most healthy life possible and still enjoy some luxuries.

Meat will continue to be one of them. I wonder is there research that resulted in hot temperatures killing any kind of cancer or disease? I know that hot temperatures can kill many kinds of bacteria.So, could that possibly mean that hot temperatures kill other types of illnesses as well?

Perhaps thats why the meat eaters haven't all keeled over yet? Perhaps it is only those that don't heat their meat correctly? I think more research has to be done.

The more research docs and oncolgists you talk to, the more you will learn that cancer is highly complex and each case is individual. There have been tons of studies done showing that smoking causes cancer, but saying that meat is a cause of cancer may be taking a step down a very slippery slope. I suppose that everything can cause cancer, but make sure you read the research carefully or you may windup a victim of a fraud like the one about immunizations causing autism.

Meat today is full of steroids. Steroids not only cause cancer, as well as meat does, but steroids also cause human cells to harden and bloat. You frequently see a once sleek jaw-line turn square and hard with a small jowl under the chin.It's nearly impossibe to get a once slender face back after steroids, let alone an entire bloated body with hard muscles under the layers of fat.

So not only does the meat lead to cancer, so do the steroids. And even though the package says "No steroids six weeks prior to process" Steroids in meat (so you) is forever That meat is not good for you was proven many centuries before 1863. Daniel asked the head eunuch "ask the king to allow me and my men to test ourselves without meat to prove to you whether or not we are not more strong" Daniel has been a promoter of vegetables for several thousand years.

All the centuries children were forced to eat liver because "its good for you" Liver collects ALL the toxins in the animals body. On top of this, almost every drug, prescription, street or steroids destroy human livers.

Well, I've got to admit, I never knew that, but that only makes me happier to be a a vegetarian! You always hear about the recalls on food products, but they are always on meaty products, and eggs too. But I am also a vegan, so I am safe with that too :) But yes, that is quite interesting because I never knew that could happen.

I've heard of all kinds of other diseases you could get from it, but not cancer. Interesting! Maybe everybody should go vegetarian ;).

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
