The link between breast cancer and red meat has been discovered before. There are a number of diseases common in the West, due to diets, due to high consumption of livestock products. The China Study found that the more livestock products consumed, the less healthy the outcome. If we emulate other primates, we should either be vegan or very close to it!

So the conclusion is that meat and dairy are unhealthy? WRONG. In themselves they are critical to a healthy balanced diet. If this study were done 50yrs ago, the results would have been starkly different. The food we now eat, especially meat and dairy, is a shadow of what our (generally healthier) grandparents grew up with. "Modern" (read "profit-driven") production techniques have left us with a diet of degraded, manipulated and processed foods, bereft of their original nutritional value, that are slowly poisoning us as a society and are directly related to the spiralling rise of the myriad chronic and degenerative illnesses we now see including IHD, cancer, obesity and diabetes. Until we understand the causes, our battle with chronic illness is doomed to be an expensive failure.
