Hamburger Eaters Anonymous

For all you Hamburger Eaters Anonymous, here’s a fun blurb reported in the BBC News – “A major piece of recent research found that while vegetarians did seem to develop fewer cancers than meat-eaters they were not protected against bowel cancer – one of the most common forms of the disease and one which had been thought to be particularly influenced by the consumption of red and processed meat.”

Oops – there goes the tofu!

“Even nutrient-rich vegetables such as broccoli, spinach and cabbage do not appear to confer the protective benefits against serious disease once hoped for – at least at the levels consumed by the general population.”

Ah, the proverbial rub – “levels consumed by the general population.”

Later, I’m off to Whole Foods…..
