High protein a recipe for cancer

Steve -

This study appeared in our favorite journal, the American College of Nutrition. The study has its merits, but the media has misinformed the public with its headlines. The study is not so much about low protein and high protein as it is about real foods versus the Standard American Diet.

The study pitted vegans and endurance-running vegetarians against subjects consuming the Standard American Diet (SAD). Who do you think is going to have a lower rate of cancer? Additionally, the proteins that the SAD group consumed the most were red meats and dairy, which consumed in large amounts have been linked to cancer.
