{{Eating a lot of red meat in early adult life may slightly increase the risk of breast cancer.}}<\/p>\n
The news is based on a large US study that looked at the protein dietary intake of almost 90,000 female nurses and their risk of breast cancer over a 20-year period.<\/p>\n
Previous studies have focused on the dietary intake of those in their “midlife” and older populations. <\/p>\n
In this particular study, however, researchers were interested in finding the potential link between diet and breast cancer risk in early adulthood.<\/p>\n
The main finding was that a higher intake of red meat (which included both processed and unprocessed meat) was associated with a 22% increased risk of breast cancer.<\/p>\n
The results suggest that women who chose healthier sources of protein \u2013 such as chicken, nuts and lentils \u2013 had a decreased risk of breast cancer.<\/p>\n
