I'm pretty sure there is a study done by somebody somewhere that proves that everything except peas is unhealthy for you.
Honestly, I wouldn't go believing this without more evidence.

Red meat triggers toxic immune reaction which causes cancer, scientists find

The clear answer here is the paint the meat like green or something.
Green = health pickups, we all know this.
Why waste your money on paint when you could just wait.
If eating red meat does indeed cause an immune system response and inflamation, wouldn't we feel it?
If I eat a reasonably nutritious homemade meal, such as my regular grilled 1/3 chicken breast (hormone and steroid free etc), with Terrisus
and either white rice or Oreida french fries (grilled), it's gone in a few minutes and my body digests it with ease (no bloating etc). But in the past, when I've had a tasty pork center cut steak or on rare occasions, a NY strip steak, I can't recall feeling any different. If my immune system was triggered, wouldn't I get like a mild fever or something?

The study stated that the liver is a prime target for taking up the compound, I'm not sure you would notice that. Your GI tract pretty much always has some sort of immune response going on with out you knowing it.

I wonder how our ancestors did it for so long? This seems like a study that was looking for the answers it wanted to find. So it found them.
1. Our ancestors don't eat as much meat
2. They probably died due to something else before getting cancer.

Nothing has changed. People who go low-carb will already be dramatically reducing inflammation from various carbohydrate-based foods.
Yes they were looking at a known difference between us and every other mammal, and devised a way of studying the effects of that difference with a carefully controlled experiment.
Yes?

I'd imagine that meat was a delicacy to our ancestors but I guarantee you they ate it, and it more than likely provided enough if not better nutrition than berries and shrubs they were eating. It was just harder to catch.
2. So are you saying that if they hadn't died to the many other factors, we'd have a bunch of cavemen with cancer? Ya no.

so if you eat mostly chicken, fish, and vegetables your less likely to have cancer?
With all the hormones in a lot of chicken, mercury in fish, and pesticides on vegetables, I ain't so sure.

There was a research recently that said ibuprofen lengthens your life. It reduces inflammation.
Ibuprofen boosts some organisms’ life spans

I'm sure eating in general was a delicacy. Cavemen got cancer too, just not the ones that took a half century of various exposures to develop because they didn't live that long.

I don't know how I feel about the large amount of posts in this thread basically saying: "Nu uh. I eat it all the time and I'm not riddled with cancer!"
It's one thing to be skeptical, it's another to outright call them liars or something. Is it a joke I'm missing or something?

If carbs like rice is bad due to inflammation, then why do Asians eat it as a staple of their diet everyday?
I eat chicken breast, veggies, and basmati organic brown rice everyday for lunch.

Best way to not get cancer is to not:
Eat
Breathe.
If you can do that, you'll live a long and productive life.
I had a pea stuck up my nostril for some minutes when I was a kid.
Pretty sure I saw a study linking nose peas to smallpox. But don't quote me on that.
No, humans are unable to produce this particular chemical.

"Organic" is a minefield of it's own. Unless you're raising and butchering your own meat, nothing is guaranteed.
It isn't bad. There is nothing wrong with carbs. Your body needs it.
In reality, a great deal of the foods we eat probably contain some amount of substance that isn't good for us. That is why it is important to have a balanced diet that includes a lot of variety. This mitigates the potential harm done. Sort of like not putting all your eggs in the same basket.

At least you get it mostly when you're over 50/60 years old.
High read meat consumption increases the colon cancer risk then by 28%.
Fuck it, I will gamble.
Will have to give check ups a high priority because if you don't find this kind of cancer early on, it's already too late usually.
Though this is actually good news as the risks were already known for a long time, but knowing why can lead to treatments etc.
You could also create genetically engineered cows (or later on grow muscle tissue) that lack that sugar
(if it's the only cause, obviously there are more factors involved as not every meat eater gets it, though that could also just depend on the individual immune systems)

Red meat is literally one of the only unhealthy things I put in my body semi-regularly. Fuck.
I don't think I can give this up man. A hot vegan girl tried to get me to convert and I still didn't budge. That's how much I love meat; I couldn't even humor her about it just to get her more interested in me. I'm in too deep at this point.

Though I haven't been eating as much of it lately, so I guess that's something.

Not from diet though.You can live healthy on barely any carbs, can't do the same with protein or fat.
