Red meat is an equal opportunity killer

Last week we talked about red meat’s influence on your sperm count (spoiler: it goes down), and that’s all well and good for the guys looking for an excuse to ban the beef, but what about the ladies? Well, as PonderingWillow reports, red meat also hates boobies, with a recent study finding a significantly increased risk of breast cancer in women who ate red meat regularly, and don’t even get me started about processed meats. Researchers spent 7 years looking at boobies, and at the end of it, the magic formula seems to be red meat bad, fibre good – the more fibre in the women’s diet, the lower their risk of breast cancer. Now, I just know there’s someone reading this who’s shrugging and saying they don’t eat steak, so I need to spell this out a little clearer: yes, red meat includes hamburgers.
