#Skipping Red Meat May Lower Breast cancer Risk Women who eat more poultry fish nuts and legumes and less red meat when they are young adults might have lower risk of developing breast cancer later in life according to a new study.

The researchers looked at nearly 89000 women ages 26 to 45 and followed them for 20 years to look at links between the women's diet as they reported it in 1991 and their risk of breast cancer.

The women who reported the highest consumption of red meat about 1. 6 servings daily had a 22 percent higher risk of breast cancer compared with women who ate the least red meat

Each serving per day increase in red meat was associated with a 13 percent increase in risk of breast cancer the researchers wrote in their paper.

but because breast cancer is a relatively common cancer the absolute number of excess cases attributable to red meat intake would be substantial

The researchers estimated that replacing one daily serving of red meat with a serving of other protein-rich foods may reduce risk of breast cancer by 14 percent.

Red meat alternatives include legumes nuts poultry and fish. Previous studies have linked red meat to several cancers particularly colon cancer.

Although it's not clear how red meat may increase the risk of cancer researchers are investigating several possible mechanisms.

For example cooking meat at high temperatures can produce cancer-causing chemicals. Meat proteins may also promote tumors'growth by triggering growth hormones

which could explain the link. Studies have produced mixed results on the link between red meat and breast cancer.

However most previous studies focused on people's diets during midlife and later whereas it is possible that diet during early adulthood has greater effects on the development of breast cancer the researchers said.

In the study red meat included both unprocessed and processed meat products. Poultry included chicken and turkey and fish included tuna salmon mackerel and sardines.

The results held when the researchers accounted for other factors that could affect the risk of breast cancer such as age weight race family history of breast cancer history of benign breast disease smoking habits and oral contraceptive use.

The researchers examined whether the link between red meat and breast cancer risk would change when levels of other risk factors changed.

They found that only oral contraceptives seemed to further increase the risk associated with red meat. For each daily serving of red meat the risk of breast cancer was 54 percent higher among women who currently used oral contraceptives

and 11 percent higher in women who were former users of the contraceptives. The researchers detailed the findings today (June 10) in the journal BMJ.

#Why Does Less Meat Mean Less Heat?(Op-Ed) Josh Balk is food policy director at The Humane Society of the United states (HSUS.

After long focusing on fuel economy and energy production environmentalists and scientists are now promoting a diet of more plants and less meat to slow climate change but why?

The total process for bringing such vast quantities of meat egg and dairy products to our plates comes at a substantial cost to the environment.

Figures from the U s. Department of agriculture and the National Agricultural Statistics Service show that our meat consumption is at its lowest level in years.

This is the result of countless people choosing to reduce their meat consumption and participating in efforts like Meatless Monday becoming flexitarian or

Your Chicken Might (Op-Ed) Paul Shapiro is the vice president of farm animal protection at The Humane Society of the United states (HSUS.

when people eat chickens from most American factory farms. To kill fecal contamination on chicken flesh factories typically drench bird carcasses in chlorine.

Moreover even after chlorine treatment the meat later can potentially be exposed to pathogens and contaminated.

Most producers confine chickens by the tens of thousands inside huge dank warehouses in which the animals have little to do

These chickens animals who are normally quite athletic are manipulated genetically to grow so obese so fast that many can't take more than a few pitiful steps before collapsing under the enormous weight of their oversized breasts.

Today's poultry chicken has been bred to grow so rapidly that its legs can collapse under the weight of its ballooning body.

It's clear that the chlorine is simply an attempt to put lipstick on a pig or decontaminant on a chicken.

As Americans grapple with a long string of meat recalls periodic episodes of food-poisoning outbreaks that sicken many

(and sometimes kill) and trade restrictions due to unsafe meat perhaps it's time to start looking at the root of the problem.

If this prompts more Americans to eat less meat and more plant-based meals good.

#Pork Producers Prohibit Painful Pig Pens (Op-Ed) Matthew Prescott is food policy director for The Humane Society of the United states. He contributed this article to Live Science's Expert Voices:

and other pork-production stakeholders who oppose enclosing animals to such an extreme degree. We believe it is the right thing to do for the long term future of pork production in the U s

. and our customers agree with us and support our decision said Mike Luker president of Cargill Pork.

Luker is right. Putting aside for a moment the animal-welfare implications of locking animals in cages

and about 60 others have announced they intend to drop from their supply chains pork producers that use gestation crates.

Jeff Worstell vice president of livestock production for Cargill Pork put it best: If you want to be a viable supplier you respond to the signals your customers send.

Temple Grandin a well-known and highly regarded pork-industry animal welfare expert believes the crates have got to Go in Improving Animal Welfare:

For example when the Prairie Swine Center a prestigious pork industry research firm compared animal housing systems that confine pigs in gestation crates with group housing

#Science plus consumer support have motivated some major pork producers to move toward group housing. In 2007 Smithfield foods the world's largest pork producer announced that it would eliminate gestation crates from all company-owned barns;

earlier this year it extended that commitment to affect all the contractors producing piglets for the company.

Others in the pork industry still resist what their customers demand. So our animals can t turn around for the 2. 5 years that they are in the stalls producing piglets Dave Warner spokesman for the National Pork Producers Council once remarked in a National Journal interview.

I don t know who asked the sow if she wanted to turn around. Warner's and the Pork Council's callous statements about how animals should be treated are out of step with both what mainstream Americans want for animals and

what 21st-century science tells us animals need. Cargill's announcement is one more blow to the pork industry s most extreme form of routine abuse.

Now industry holdouts like Seaboard Foods The National Pork Producers Council and the National Pork Board have a choice:

They can continue to defend outdated practices and risk turning away even more customers or join the momentum and switch to group housing.

Eat Less Beef (Op-Ed) Elliott Negin is the director of news and commentary at the Union of Concerned Scientists (UCS.

Eat less beef. That's right. If we all ate less beef we would not only lose weight save money

and improve our health we also would significantly cut the pollution that causes global warming.

What may come as a surprise though is that red meat beef pork and lamb may be a key culprit making us fat.

A June 2005 study in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition for example followed some 55000 healthy middle-aged Swedish women.

but avoided red meat had a lower risk of being overweight or obese than their more carnivorous counterparts.

and total meat red meat poultry and processed meat consumption found that a subject increasing his

or her meat intake by 9 ounces a day the equivalent of one steak at 450 calories would lead to a weight gain of nearly 4 and a half pounds over a five-year period.

So if you want to shed some pounds you should cut back on beef as well as pork and lamb.

Spend Less Save More Eating less meat especially the more expensive grades of beef will fatten your wallet.

The most recent available government data peg the average cost of a pound of ground beef at $3. 88 roast beef at $4. 88 and steak at $6. 33.

If you want to splurge the top of the line sirloin USDA Choice boneless will set you back $6. 80 a pound.

Meanwhile ham excluding canned and luncheon slices costs only $2. 80 a pound and a whole chicken $1. 52 a pound.

Even boneless chicken breasts are only $3. 45 a pound still less than ground beef. Eating pasta or beans at least once a week instead of meat would stretch your dollars further.

For example if a family of four substituted a meatless spaghetti dinner ($1. 29 a pound) for roast beef ($7. 32 for one

and a half pounds) they would save around $6. That's an annual savings of $312.

Resolution: Stay Fit and Healthy If you want to stay fit exercise regularly. If you want to stay healthy and live longer eat less red meat

which has been linked to cancers cardiovascular disease and diabetes. In March 2009 a 10-year National Cancer Institute review of studies that followed half a million Americans found that those who ate 4 ounces of red meat

or more daily increased their overall risk of premature death 30 percent compared with those who consumed less.

Sausage luncheon meats and other processed meats also increased the risk. Those who ate mostly poultry or fish had a lower risk of premature death.

It found that people who ate a serving of beef pork or lamb every day had a 13 percent increased risk of premature death compared with those who ate little or no red meat.

Daily helpings of processed meat such as two slices of bacon or one hot dog increased the risk of premature death 20 percent.

The Harvard review also found that replacing one serving of red meat with fish poultry nuts legumes low-fat diary

or grains was associated with a 7 percent to 19 percent lower mortality risk. The researchers estimated that 9. 3 percent of male deaths

if study participants had consumed less than half a serving of red meat per day. This study provides clear evidence that regular consumption of red meat especially processed meat contributes substantially to premature death said review co-author Dr. Frank Hu in a press release issued by the Harvard School of Public health.

On the other hand choosing more healthful sources of protein in place of red meat can confer significant health benefits by reducing chronic disease morbidity and mortality.

Resolution: Shrink Your Carbon Footprint When it comes to global warming not all meat is created equal.

The ruminants Americans eat mainly cows pose the biggest threat to the climate according to an article in this month's edition of the journal Nature Climate Change.

which are associated mostly with beef production could make a big contribution to preventing the worst impacts of global warming said Doug Boucher director of climate research

If you want to reduce the emissions associated with the food you eat the most important step is to reduce your consumption of beef Boucher wrote in a recent blog.

The question of what you replace it with pork poultry or plants only is much less important.

If you don't have the stomach to cut out meat entirely switching to poultry or pork would still go a long way to shrink your carbon footprint.

Boucher a biologist pointed out that although the biggest emissions reduction would obviously come from becoming a vegan replacing beef with poultry would get you more than 90 percent of the way there

while switching to pork would achieve at least 80 percent of the methane abatement you would get from only eating plants.

The good news is Americans have been eating less meat including beef over the last decade.

Annual U s. beef consumption dropped from its high point of 97 pounds per person in 2002 to 81 pounds in 2011 according to U s. Department of agriculture data.

But that is still more than consumers in every other country besides Argentina Brazil and Uruguay translating into 1850 to 2600 pounds of annual carbon emissions per person.

The fact that Americans are now eating more chicken than beef for the first time in 100 years demonstrates that change is said possible Boucher.

#Your Cheeseburger Is Leaving a Giant Environmental Footprint Beef production takes a big toll on the environment according to one of the most comprehensive studies to date on livestock management in the United states. To make one steak 28 times

what's required for other sources of commonly eaten protein like pork and poultry the researchers found.

and a professor of plant sciences at the Weizmann Institute of Science in Israel told Live Science We found that it is much larger for eating beef. 7 Perfect Survival Foods Milo

and his colleagues collected data on the environmental costs per calorie of dairy poultry pork eggs and beef foods that account for 96 percent of the calories Americans get from animals.

The environmental costs of dairy poultry pork and eggs are fairly similar the researchers found.

In contrast the same number of calories from beef is much more taxing on the environment requiring 160 times more land eight times more irrigation water 11 times more greenhouse-gas emissions and 19 times more fertilizer

Other studies have identified beef as a major drain on environmental resources but this is one of the largest investigations on the environmental costs of livestock in the United states said Nathan Pelletier president of the Global Ecologic Environmental Consulting and Management Services in British columbia Canada.

Maybe I like beef very much Milo said. But from knowing those numbers maybe I could just eat it once a week or once every two weeks.
