A 12-year study of 90659 women aged 26 to 46 has found that high red meat consumption may be assiociated with an increased risk for hormone-receptor-positive breast cancer in premenopausal women. Subjects who ate more than 1.5 sevings of red meat a day had nearly double the risk of those who ate less than three servings a week.
"This study suggests that dietary factors may be related to a woman's chance of developing this type of breast cancer and more research should be done." says Eunyong Cho, lead author of the study and an assistant professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School
