And it's not related to any of the usual suspects like fat. It is a molecule that is found in higher levels in red meat but also is lower or undetectable levels in poultry, fish, and vegetables. The molecule is not produced by humans but is found in tumors, and it has been shown that the molecule can be absorbed by the body. So far I think the link between this molecule and tumors is speculation.

They can say it all they want, but nothing is coming between me and a nice New York Strip or Filet Mignon!

hey, we all gotta die sometime. i'd rather have it be by cancer where i can do everything i really want to than the immediacy of being hit by a car. so as long as they keep slaughtering the red meat, i'll keep eating it.

You can get cancer from almost everything', just don't worry and be happy. I like eating meat and will do so for the rest of my life.
