Red, Grilled, Barbequed Meat May Be Linked To Kidney Cancer.

Reuters Share to FacebookShare to Twitter (12/29, Pittman) reports a study Share to FacebookShare to Twitter in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition suggesting that people who eat high amounts of red, grilled, or barbequed meat may be at higher risk of kidney cancer. In a study of 500,000 US adults, it was found that eating the most red meat was linked with papillary cancers, but not clear-cell kidney cancers. Participants who ate high amounts of well-done grilled and barbecued meat likewise had an increased risk of kidney cancer. Researchers said the reason for the association is unclear and emphasized that the data do not prove causation.
