Study describes red meat's cancer-causing mechanism in the colon

Over the past 40 years, red meat has changed roles in the American diet from a supporting player to the main attraction, increasing in both portion size and frequency of consumption. The rise in diagnoses of colorectal cancer correlates with this increase, though the mechanism by which red meat consumption results in hyperplasia is not well understood. Now a group of researchers in the Netherlands have published a study that suggests the gut microbiota, a hot subject among biomedical researchers, is pivotal in the heme-induced epithelial damage that leads to hyperplasia. They have published their results in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

You Americans should be worrying about your weight more than anything else. If it hasn't been deep fried or drenched in butter, you dont eat it.

Very big generlisation... But there's no smoke without fire.

I seriously hope you do not reside in the UK....

Oh and by the way I am salivating for some deep fried hush puppies (creamed corn fried in batter), breaded okra (okra fried in batter) and some chicken and dumplins, along with some biscuits n gravy (gravy is made with left over bacon grease)

oh and I am not fat in the the slightest.

I know right most of us "Americans" eat all sort of food and aren't even fat in anyway. Now, internally that's a whole different story.

You might not be fad but you are certainly misinformed when it comes to biology/pathology.

Lack of visible body fat in no way or shape does it justify a bad diet and therefor indicate a healthy system.

Dont get me wrong body fat is bad for you in every sense of the way but if you are thin even if you have terrible diet habits like what you described above can result in serious health issues.

Let me elaborate a bit, a bad diet full of unsaturated fats and carbohydrates can and will cause a constant spike in lipid macronutrients like triglycerides and cholesterol (especially the 'bad'one LDL) in your blood circulation system which can cause blot clods and stiffening of your blood vessels resulting in a heart attack or brain stroke.

Thin people are in more danger here because they wont get tested as often as fad people due to their 'better' physical appearance.

So if you eat they way you say you eat please go do a full blood test as soon as possible and consult your physician, you might be surprised by the results.
