Even breathing will give you cancer at this point.

Well, yeah . . . but that is because we extract, refine, and burn too much coal and oil thus releasing all sorts of toxic shit like benzene, mercury, lead, arsenic, ozone, SO2, etc. We should stop doing THAT . . . the breathing is hard to stop.


The only reason why mercury in fish is such a problem is because of coal plants.

Article says I just need more sugar. Should be easy enough!

I always knew Chicken was the superior meat.

this guy has it down as well as everyone on his side

"eat food, not too much, mostly plants"

science will congratulate him later

 

[VeryGooster]

Pizza and chicken wings forever is the obvious answer.

 

[Speevy]

Cancer and heart disease kills most people. Living past 80 is torture for most people.


Give me that steak.

Bite me, scientists!

Trigger warning!

Always wonder why they never link anything when they say it's an online journal.

Plants are not any better.

So many chemicals in plants cause inflammation because plants have spent millions of years developing natural pesticides. Caffeine being a prime example of a plant inflammatory.

I always wonder that too. Makes it a major pain in the ass to track it down. I'll add that PNAS is one of the more highly-regarded journals out there, so for them to publish this means that the research is of a very high quality.

Turkey meat is an excellent substitute guys - check it out!

 

[ThLunarian]

Is it possible to neutralize this effect, now that we know about it?

 

[UpperCaseN]

Wouldn't your body just store the antibodies from the first time you had red meat, then? Unless it's some mutating sugar like a god damn virus

Gobble Gobble on on the last Thursday in November, any other time, it's cheating!

If it was this simple, and it certainly isn't, they could just knockout N-glycolylneuraminic acid in livestock. I wonder if there would be any difference in taste?

Yeah.but he's bald and looks like he's hitting 80ty

 

[wildfire]

Sorry but I will still demand for a no smoking zone to be available.

 

[Interfectum]

Bacon...

 

[BobLoblaw]

If this is the case, then I'm in the clear. If they ever have a study that shows turkey, chicken, or fish causes the same thing then I'm fucked.

 

[Randolph Freelander]

Sure, I read this after I have the corned beef sandwich for lunch.

Of course, the next step is to genetically modify the animals we eat for food to not produce this sugar. And the next step after that is to laugh at the Euros that refuse to import it. Revenge of Fat America.

 

[Lilalaunebaer]

I´ll eat red meat -> get cancer -> smoke weed -> cure cancer -> eat red meat.

Where is your god now atheists?

 

[Somnid]

I'm curious what is the relation between inflammation and cancer? They might appear together but why?

 

[Queen of Hunting]

if i stick to what scientists and other report i may aswell just eat the grass outside lol

basically shut the fuck up and everything we eat is shit but at the end of day we have to

 

[MattKeil]

Even the study itself says more research needs to be done regarding humans, it's just a logical extrapolation. I wouldn't let this put you off from eating a steak now and then, and I certainly wouldn't treat it as a justification of vegetarian/vegan lifestyles (tons of plants have similar links to cancer), especially since I know several people in their 80s who eat red meat every damn day. Cancer just isn't that simple, no matter how much we'd like to find the "do/don't do X and you'll live forever!" magic bullet.

 

[n00bsauce87]

Glad my fiance is allergic to pork. There's only chicken and turkey in my household

 

[Log4Girlz]

I'm already dead

 

[Werewolf Jones]

I eat too much red meat. Better cut the fuck back before something goes wrong.

 

[Sorcerer Supreme]

Good thing I don't eat red meat.

 

[exmachina64]

Fantastic.

Plants and fish are totally better in reducing cancer risk, according to the research. Everything that is available always skews towards plants and fish. Best case scenario, red meat is no worse (but never, ever, better). Keep praying for the best case scenario.

 

[PsychoSoldier]

As interesting as all this is just think if we're discovering new things about foods we've eaten for millennia the idea that we don't need to worry about the effects of additives and foods newly created in labs seems absolutely insane.

I will take this toxic sugar in red meat any day over processed foods with dozens of additives and stabilizers created by food science.

Don't care. No point in living a long life if you're not enjoying it to its fullest.

Paywalls. Paywalls everywhere.

 

[Miles Quaritch]

Chicken proves its superiority once again.

 

[JC Lately]

So does the sun. But I don’t stay inside all day. Just most of it.

Something, something, moderation.

All though now that we know about this ‘Neu5Gc’, the question becomes: How do we get rid of it so we can consume red meat with relative impunity?

Get to work, scientists. You have 184 days till July 4th.

 

[ReAxion]

Paywalls. Paywalls everywhere.

You gotta pay for the full study, but is there a paywall showing for the abstract?

 

[Pathos]

Never ate red meat before so I guess I'm not missing out on anything

 

[devilhawk]

I'm curious what is the relation between inflammation and cancer? They might appear together but why?

Inflammation is an immune response that brings a lot of cells that promote angiogenesis or blood vessel growth. Angiogenesis is also important in cancer for promoting metastasis.

 

[Ray Wonder]

Next week they will have an article disproving it, the week after someone proving it.

Either way, I don't give a shit. Give me a steak.

 

[BobLoblaw]

Don't care. No point in living a long life if you're not enjoying it to its fullest.

Statements like this always make me chuckle. As if you can't enjoy life without doing something like eating read meat.

 

[Interfectum]

If you are going to eat red meat just do things to fight inflammation in the body.

Eat less sugar, take a daily aspirin, season shit with turmeric, eat more fish (salmon is great) and get plenty of sleep.

Luckily Taco Bell meat isn't real meat.
