People who eat lots of red meat may have a higher risk of some types of kidney cancer, suggests a large US study.
Researchers found that middle-aged adults who ate the most red meat were 19% more likely to be diagnosed with kidney cancer than those who ate the least. A higher intake of chemicals found in grilled or barbecued meat was also linked to increased risk of the disease, according tot the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition.
It is OK if you eat red meat in moderation-once a week maybe. But the portion varies for each of us.
Active lifestyle and proper diet that what is needed to stay healthy.
U.S. guidelines call for limiting high-fat foods including processed meat, and instead eating more lean meat and poultry, seafood and nuts.
Chicago tribune:
But for now, meat-related cooking chemicals “can be reduced by avoiding direct exposure of meat to an open flame or a hot metal surface, reducing the cooking time, and using a microwave oven to partially cook meat before exposing it to high temperatures,” said Dr Daniel.
This is B.S ! DO NOT USE THE MICROVAWE OVEN TO COOK FOOD! This suggestion just tells me how little doctors know.
Here is an excerpt from the study: Scientific evidence and facts
In Comparative Study of Food Prepared Conventionally and in the Microwave Oven, published by Raum & Zelt in 1992, at 3(2): 43, it states:
“A basic hypothesis of natural medicine states that the introduction into the human body of molecules and energies, to which it is not accustomed, is much more likely to cause harm than good. Microwaved food contains both molecules and energies not present in food cooked in the way humans have been cooking food since the discovery of fire.
Another study: The Swiss clinical study
Dr. Hans Ulrich Hertel, who is now retired, worked as a food scientist for many years with one of the major Swiss food companies that do business on a global scale. A few years ago, he was fired from his job for questioning certain processing procedures that denatured the food. In 1991, he and a Lausanne University professor published a research paper indicating that food cooked in microwave ovens could pose a greater risk to health than food cooked by conventional means. An article also appeared in issue 19 of the Journal Franz Weber in which it was stated that the consumption of food cooked in microwave ovens had cancerous effects on the blood. The research paper itself followed the article. On the cover of the magazine there was a picture of the Grim Reaper holding a microwave oven in one of his hands.
Here is more:
Microwaving prepared meats sufficiently to insure sanitary ingestion caused formation of d-Nitrosodienthanolamines, a well-known carcinogen.
Microwaving milk and cereal grains converted some of their amino acids into carcinogens.
Thawing frozen fruits converted their glucoside and galactoside containing fractions into carcinogenic substances.
Extremely short exposure of raw, cooked or frozen vegetables converted their plant alkaloids into carcinogens.
Carcinogenic free radicals were formed in microwaved plants, especially root vegetables.
Decrease in nutritional value
Russian researchers also reported a marked acceleration of structural degradation leading to a decreased food value of 60 to 90% in all foods tested.
Back to the red meat
Another study that followed more than 72,000 women for 18 years found that those who ate a Western-style diet high in red and processed meats, desserts, refined grains, and French fries had an increased risk of heart disease, cancer, and death from other causes.
“The association between consumption of red and processed meats and cancer, particularly colorectal cancer, is very consistent,” says Marji McCullough, PhD, a nutritional epidemiologist with the American Cancer Society.
My suggestion: This is just another example that something can be good for you or bad for you. It all depends on how you use it and on your personal body structure. The same general rule is applicable for all. But details may wary for different people.
The rule of thumb: Moderation. Some of us need meet some don’t. Enjoy your steak but once a week!
Balance your food. Use common sense. For example I love ice cream but I don’t eat it during cold season. Drink hot tea.
In our society it is almost impossible not to have contact with toxins. Use organic cleansers to help your body to get rid of bad stuff.
Take days off and vacations. Money spend on vacations you will save with doctors and medications.
Have a happy and healthy year!
