Researchers at the Albert Einstein Faculty of Medicine at Yeshiva University in the United States revealed that a diet rich in red meat does not increase the risk of breast cancer in post-menopausal women.
To arrive at this conclusion, Geoffrey C. Kabat’s team analysed medical documents of 120 755 American women and their diets.
Based on the study’s results published in the International Journal of Cancer medical review, also different cooking techniques, such as grilling, do not promote breast cancer.
Despite the results, Dr. Kabat believes that more research on the subject must be conducted, particularly, on younger women to further investigate the effects of young women exposed to mutagens in red meat.
