Reuters 
(12/29, Pittman) reports a
study
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.
