I know some of us have cut/eliminated our consumption of red and processed meat. Here's another study. This one covers a link between eating processed meat, such as bacon or sausages, and pancreatic cancer.

    Balanced Diet
    Yes, it is scary.

    I still prefer the choice on a balanced diet than deprivation. The Japanese radish called “Daikon” got anti-cancerous qualities and makes part on almost every meat dish in a Japanese diet, including roasted chicken.

    Good post.
