Does eating meat cause cancer? my mom just told me that today
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Cancer is complex: Many things can cause cancer and there are very few single agents that 100% explain it. It is usually a combination of factors that increase one's risk. A diet heavy in animal products has been implicated in certain types of cancer, especially hepatocellular carcinoma. See the book 'the china study' for more detailed information.
