My late parents' are from the Island of of the Southern part of China. The Island have a God of Wealth temple over 1,200 years - Kuan Kong temple, if you frequent the Chinese Restaurant in USA or Canada, you may see his statue. Kuan Kong is a life general in the 3 Kingdom period. He was a Beef eater & drinker. The island worship him as the god. In buddhism, he is actually a buddhisvatthva.
However, the who island people hardly eat beef. od Meat rather. Their main meat is Chicken & fish & sea weeds, vegetable, old age people tend to live to over 90 years old. MY Aunty she is nearly 80's year old.
I am glad that American Cancer Society study have reconfirmed the consumption of Red Meat have high tendency have having Cancer.
My late grandma before she passed away was saying that, she regret eating Meat after the economy getting good in the island.
Therefore, I further endorse & encourage all to eat less meat especially red meat for your great health.
High Red Meat Consumption Linked to Colon Cancer

NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - Long-term high consumption of red and processed meat may increase the risk of cancer in the colon and rectum, a new study shows.
Dr. Michael J. Thun, with the American Cancer Society (news - web sites) in Atlanta, and colleagues followed 148,610 adults, average age 63 years, who completed questionnaires in 1982 and again between 1992 and 1993 regarding their diet, exercise, medical history and other lifestyle habits.
By 2001, there were 1667 new cases of colorectal cancer, according to a report in Wednesday's Journal of the American Medical Association (news - web sites).
The participants who consistently ate the most red meat and processed meats had a 50 percent higher rate colorectal cancer than those who ate the least red or processed meat.
Prolonged high consumption of poultry and fish was marginally associated with about a 25 percent lower risk of colon cancer, but not rectal cancer.
Meanwhile, in another study in the journal, European investigators report that eating a lot of fruit and vegetables doesn't do anything to prevent breast cancer.
Dr. Petra H. M. Peeters, at University Medical Center in Utrecht, the Netherlands, and colleagues analyzed data on approximately 285,000 women ages 25 to 70 from eight European countries who were followed for an average of 5.4 years. The participants had completed dietary questionnaires.
There were 3659 cases of invasive breast cancer among this group of women.
Even though the highest intake of total fruits and vegetables was 2- to 3-times more than the lowest level of intake, the team saw no significant differences in breast cancer risk.
In an accompanying editorial, Dr. Walter C. Willett, at Harvard School of Public Health in Boston, comments that, despite the negative results for breast cancer risk, "reductions in blood pressure and epidemiological evidence for lower risks of cardiovascular disease provide sufficient reason to consume" fruits and vegetables in abundance.
