One study found that eating large amounts of red and processed meat leaves you a greater
risk of cancer. Scientists say that one in ten cases of both lung and bowel cancer
could be prevented if people cut down on beef, lamb, pork, sausages, ham and bacon.
Red meat increases the rick of cancers in the liver and esophagus as well. The research
involving nearly 500,000 people adds to growing evidence that eating too much
meat no good for you.

On a brighter note researchers have found that three monthly servings of
raw broccoli or cabbage can reduce the risk of bladder cancer by as much as 40 per
cent. The scientists surveyed 275 people who had bladder cancer and 825 people without
cancer. They asked especially about cruciferous vegetables such as broccoli and cabbage.
These foods are rich in compounds called isothiocyanates, which are known to lower
cancer risk.
