Red Meat May Increase Risk for Breast Cancer

New research reported in the Archives of Internal Medicine suggests that pre-menopausal women who consume a large amount of red meat may increase their risks of breast cancer.  This study differs from other previous research in that it includes younger women (aged 26 to 46) and it controls for the presence of hormonal receptors that are known to increase the risk of cancer.  The data is from the Nurses’ Health Study.
