Scientists claim they may have found why red meat increases the risk of bowel cancer and the answer may lie with our genetics.
The researchers claim red meat produces substances in the gut which damage DNA and alter it inside the human body.
Experts believe the process may explain the link between eating red meat and bowel cancer.
Last year Medical Research Council scientists reported that the risk of developing the disease is raised by a third for people who eat more than two portions of red meat a day.

Yet again scare mongering. What they dont say is that a balanced diet including RED MEAT is the most importnat factor to a healthy living. Maybe the scientists are all vegies. Who eats Red meat twice a day anyway.
But if there is truth in it, sorry but Macdonalds at breakfast, dinner and tea is out.
