You think the 1000% rise in cancer rates in the US the last 100 years is genetics or chance? It's our diet.

In the last 100 years we've increased carbohydrate consumption more than anything else.

Then why can't I find PI's all over the world with similar published studies? Just the book you linked.

I found this...

Processed meat intake may be involved in the etiology of colorectal cancer, a major cause of death in affluent countries. The epidemiologic studies published to date conclude that the excess risk in the highest category of processed meat-eaters is comprised between 20% and 50% compared with non-eaters. In addition, the excess risk per gram of intake is clearly higher than that of fresh red meat. Several hypotheses, which are mainly based on studies carried out on red meat, may explain why processed meat intake is linked to cancer risk

However, the risk of developing CRC is well recognised to be associated not only with diet but also with obesity and lack of exercise. While epidemiological evidence shows an association with factors such as high red meat intake and low intake of vegetables, fibre and fish,

Consumption of traditional soups, meat, salted and dried fish, cold cuts and seasoned cheeses, as well as the intake of animal proteins and nitrites were related to an increased GC risk. On the contrary consumption of fresh fruit, citrus fruit, raw vegetables, spices, garlic and olive oil, and vitamin C, E and beta-carotene intake were found to be protective factors.

In other words, most published data indicates an increased risk of cancer from the overall diet, not just meat ingestion. High levels of meat ingestion, combined with preventative factors like fish, vegs, fruit, doesn't equal an increased cancer risk.
