Another Cancer alert on meat

Express.co.uk - Home of the Daily and Sunday Express | UK News :: Cancer alert on red meat

New report suggests raw meat could be safer than cooked meat

EATING overcooked meat is twice as likely to cause cancer than previously thought, scientists warned last night.

The new alert over the ­hidden dangers of a roast dinner or cooked breakfast means the nation is unwittingly putting itself at serious risk of developing the deadly disease.

The dark crust formed on the outside of a well-done steak or joint of red meat more than doubles the risk of intestinal tumours, researchers have found. Frying and grilling are particularly risky because the intense heat turns the sugars and amino acids of muscle tissue into high levels of cancer-causing compounds.

French Ignore Nutrition Health Research

Mad France Disease? Eat Meat! New Law in France!

French Government Ban Vegetarian Meals

"Whilst many health advisory organisations are suggesting we cut down on meat and eat more fruit and vegetables Nicolas Sarkozy and the French government are going against the wholegrain and have legislated that meat, fish and saturated fat rich animal products always be served." London Nutritionist Yvonne Bishop-Weston revealed today

In a recent Press Release from the World Cancer Research Fund they said.

Women in the UK are 17 per cent more likely to develop cancer by the age of 75 than the European average
‘Together with other factors such as being physically active and eating a healthy plant-based diet without too much salt or red and processed meat, these changes could make a real difference to the number of women who develop cancer before the age of 75.
“Overall, we estimate about a third of the most common cancers could be prevented by eating healthily, being physically active and maintaining a healthy weight. And for breast cancer, which is the most common type of cancer, about four in 10 cases could be prevented through lifestyle changes.

The Scientific Advisory Committee on Nutrition (SACN) was asked by the UK Department of Health to review dietary advice on meat consumption as a source of iron.
Based on that report a government committee, which included a number of doctors, said those consuming more than 100g of red or processed meats per day - the equivalent of as little as two thick cut back bacon rashers in one leading supermarket - may need to be told to cut their intake to reduce risk of colerectal cancer.

The EVU (European Vegetarian Union) report, in a typically defiant, fly in the face of the facts move,
the Government in France are moving in totally the opposite direction

Following a law voted last year by the French Parliament(1) The French have legislated meat must be served in schools, similar decrees will be taken shortly regarding almost all forms of catering from kindergarten to hospital, prisons and retirement homes. Vegetarianism will then have effectively been banned for a large part of the population.

A governmental order issued on October 2, 2011(2) has determined that all meals served in school canteens in France must contain animal products, and that meat and fish will be served at a certain minimum frequency. This implies that by law from now on no vegetarian can eat at any public or private school in France.

The Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union, which is binding on member states including France, holds that: Everyone has the right to freedom of thought, conscience and religion. This right includes freedom to change religion or belief and freedom, either alone or in community with others and in public or in private, to manifest religion or belief, in worship, teaching, practice and observance.(4)

The public debate regarding animal rights and the moral status of animals is active in France as in many other countries. Citizens are entitled to choose freely where they stand on these issues, and those who believe that they cannot, in conscience, accept to eat animals must not be discriminated against.

A government cannot settle a philosophical, ethical and political debate by restricting the rights of those who disagree with its own positions. For years, the official policy of the French government has been openly hostile to vegetarianism.(5) The French agriculture minister, Bruno Lemaire, declared in January 2010 that the government's aim in determining its public nutritional policy was to defend the French agricultural model and specifically to counter initiatives such as those of Paul McCartney calling for a reduced consumption of meat.(6)

Berries Beat Apples for 1st Place

A Berry A Day Beats Apples in UK Review

Shoppers find top fruits berry nice indeed - Scotsman.com News

All the talk by nutritionists and newspapers about the benefits of 'berry good for you' antioxidants seems to have paid off. Berries have overtaken the apple as the nations favourite fruit based on sales. It's no longer An apple a Day keeps the Doctor away it's a berry a day - more like a punnet of berries.

The Scotsman reported today;

HEALTH conscious Britons have sent berries to the top of the league of the nation's most popular fruits for the first time.

The soft fruit crop, including strawberries, raspberries and blueberries, has overtaken apples as the biggest selling fruit category by value, according to the latest data from market research analysts Kantar Worldpanel.

In the past 12 months, berry sales have increased by 13.3 per cent to £764 million and now make up 18.4 per cent of fruit sales, compared with 18 per cent for apples

London Nutritionist Yvonne Bishop-Weston says " This is great news that the UK is buying more berries, however do be choosey about the ones you buy and give them a good wash as some of them have a lot of chemicals sprayed on them"
