According to new "research"
BBC, 25th February 2011, more than 500g of red or processed meat per week can give you bowel cancer. I abhor these scare-mongering stories that crop up from time to time. Once upon a time red wine was a definite no-no - until another bright spark (probably paid equally handsomely for a new research project) claimed the contrary: not only was red wine not bad for you, it was positively good in moderation. And there, surely, is the key. Too much of anything, with too little variety of diet, may be harmful; I personally would would want to see real empirical proof, obtained from a statistically-significant sample before according these latest findings much credence.
