These sensationalist studies are just that...sensationalist.

The Incidence of cancer deaths per 100,000 people in 2010 (USA study) was 172.
That is a risk of .00172%.
Four times this risk is .00688%...not even close to 1 out of 100,000.

Enjoy your protein. Smile

Using your numbers,the maths= %.172 (17 hundredths of one percent,or near one fifth of one percent)
Four times the risk would be 688 deaths per 100,000
or %.688. (near seven tenths of one percent)

Don't worry bro, eat more fish and chicken eat less red meat. Stay as far as you can from pork and you will be fine. Remember you can get protein from nuts to
