Is it possible for animal protein tocause cancer?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Cancers are induced by exogenous factors such as carcinogens and viruses. Animal protein as we are exposed to them today are in food products such as meat from chicken and beef which if relatively clean, do not contain carcinogens. In one instance however, chicken meat can contain helicobacter pylori which is why meat should be well cooked. The H. pylori has been associated with stomach Ca.
