Both studies looked at red meat consumption but they came to different conclusions. One study reported an increased risk of death among breast cancer survivors associated with eating red meat and the other, much larger study, reported no association between death and red meat in the diet. Neither of these results was statistically significant. The larger study also examined eating poultry and found it connected with a statistically significant decrease in the risk of death for breast cancer survivors. This decrease in the risk of death was linked to animal but not vegetable protein.
Further study is needed to clarify and determine the following.
Food Guide Pyramid. Do not cook meat to beyond well-done but use a meat thermometer to make sure that potentially harmful bacteria have been killed. Include baked or stewed meat dishes that use lower cooking temperatures.
