Does Eating Red Meat Cause Breast Cancer?

I have decided to write on health articles for adults and children every Saturday and Sunday. Monday thru Friday will be on educational topics. Today topic is will eating red meat cause beast cancer? According to an article by Samantha B. Cassetty, M.S., R.D. in "Good Housekeeping Magazine" April 2010, If you like meat but have worried because it possible is linked to breast cancer, you can relax.

A European study that tracked nearly 320,000 women for 11 years found that consuming red meat, poultry, eggs, milk, and cheese did not raise the odds of developing breast cancer. What does count:

1. Keeping weight down

2. limiting alcohol (at most, have one drink a day, advises the American Cancer Society)

3. Don't eat processed meats (like deli slices and meats cooked at high temps)

4. Limit fatty cuts and full-fat dairy are high in saturated fats which are also linked to heart disease.
