A member asked:
If you eat a animal that has got cancer, will you get cancer after eating them?

No, not at all: Cancer is not contagious. So eating an animal can not transmit it. Moreover cooking of food kills all germs and nearly all the human cells including cancer cells. So you do not need to worry.

Cancer: The is no evidence that eating an animal will cause cancer. Best of luck. Don't be concerned about this.
