I have suspicion that the recent news about red meat possibly causing cancer is some of this.

I do not eat that much red meat because it is expensive, but I will continue eating it.

Prime Rib for Christmas!

I was telling my Dr that I mostly eat chicken and fish. He was commending me on my "healthy" eating habits. Heck no I said. I just can't afford steak! I'm settling down to a healthy dinner. (Except for the chlorine and other chemicals)

That is so true!

Simple observation tells you a couple things about eating red meat. While cancer existed back in the day of our great grandparents, it was not commonplace like today. They ate red meat, and plenty of it, however, the animals didn't eat a lot of genetically modified feed, and hormones given to them like today. Their source of red meat was not always beef, since plenty of people hunted deer, which is also a red meat, but they ate red meat. All indigenous Texans would all be extinct by now due to cancer if this were true. It may be true today about eating red meat, but it was not always so, which could be a clear indicator that we need to pay more attention to farming methods, and the way we process our foods.

You are overlooking something - a lot of the things that killed people off in our great-grandparents' day have been tamed by modern medicine. People are astonished at the carnage in the American Civil War battles, yet twice as many died of disease in the camps as died as a result of wounds.

I recently heard a statistic that something like 1 out of 7 people died of Tuberculosis only a century ago.

A woman who dies in childbirth won't be around to develop the breast cancer that her genetics predispose her to . . . whatever her diet.

There are some cancers that are a direct result of environmental exposure, but cancer usually takes years to develop, and if a person dies of something else first, they don't get entered as a cancer statistic, do they?

When I went to the neurologist several years ago he was asking Family History questions about neurological diseases. I told Him I only knew of of one with parkinson's disease. He told me that family history did not really mean much because not too many years ago people died before they were old enough to get them--Parkinson's and other dementias that is.

We're originally from Mi. My Pops, 83 jokes about being hired to whitewash milk barns and spray neighbor's yards with DDT for FFA $. He worked with asbestos for years. He's healthier than I am. Takes a baby aspirin and a blood pressure pill daily.

He never drank a drop or smoked though...
