High Protein Diets May Boost Cancer Risk

Read the fine print: "He recommends fish, low-fat dairy products and, occasionally, some red meat."

I don't know how others structure their high protein diet, but the above describes how I do it (plus 50g of protein per day from why shakes).

As far as cancer, get your antioxidents in (green tea, vitamin c, blueberries etc), keep your overall dietary fat intake low (less than 20% of the total), moderate (or eliminate) alcohol consumption, don't smoke, and your cancer risk rate will be less than 90% of the population.

And to add to the prior post, high fiber also.

The overall point remains, there are so many ways nutritionally and otherwise to reduce cancer risk, one should not be deterred from a high protein diet. 

I would not be surprised if the bodybuilding poupulation (non-steroid) has a lower cancer rate than the overall population, notwithstanding high protein consumption.

carbs are key for strength.

Eat under 100g carbs for a week and see how strong you are. 

Eat under 100g protein and high carbs and your strength will be good.

"For the study, Fontana's team looked at three groups of people. The first, made up of 21 lean men and women, ate a low-protein, low-calorie, raw food, vegetarian diet. The second group of 21 people did regular endurance running, averaging about 48 miles a week. These runners ate a standard Western diet that included more calories and protein than the first group. The third group included 21 sedentary people who also consumed a standard Western diet, higher in sugars, processed refined grains and animal products."

I just can't stop shaking my head

I'm still waiting to see this miracle diet where you grow muscle on less than 100g of protein per week (i.e., less than 15g per day).  Let's see it or kindly retract your statement.

If your goal is to waste money, then sure, you succeeded.

theres benefits to eating meat, Man!

if you're talking purely bodybuilding purposes, you're probably right, but red meat and some white meat sure is good for ya a few times a week

Non-steroid bbing population?.... And thats like what... 10% of us?

Otherwise AAS may speed up the rate of growth in cancer cells, thus increasing the risk.
