Study revealed correlation between chicken and cancer but not the reasons why Eating chicken has previously been regarded as healthy alternative to red meat The research involved tracking 475,000 Britons over a period of eight years
==============================================================
Eating chicken puts consumers at a higher risk of a rare form of blood cancer, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, as well as prostate cancer in men, according to researchers from Oxford University.
The research involved tracking 475,000 middle-aged Britons over a period of eight years between 2006 and 2014.
Their diets were analysed alongside the diseases and illnesses they suffered with.
Around 23,000 of them developed cancer.
'Poultry intake was positively associated with risk for malignant melanoma, prostate cancer and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma', according to the paper published in the Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health.

Hunt deer, eat grass fed beef.
It’s not the chicken, it’s the stuff that the chicken eats.
So there are coincidences!
Someone should tell Gibbs!
Well, maybe chicken DOES cause cancer.
But everyone who eats a vegetarian or vegan diet is going to die.
“Study revealed correlation between chicken and cancer “
Another $tudy with the end result more $tudy needed?
Didn’t know Prop. 65 had infected the UK.
Studies have shown that living has a 100% death rate, so it should be avoided.
non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, that’s the cancer that exposer to glyphosate, the active ingredient in Roundup herbicide, causes and its manufacturer Monanto (now owned by Bayer Corporation) are currently facing many law suits from folks diagnosed with that type of cancer. Most everybody eats chicken so if Monsanto / Bayer Corp can prove that chicken can also be a source of non-Hodgkins cancers, that will make it really difficult for anyone to prove the actual cause. Follow the money!!
People who eat potentially can get cancer. I know I am out on a limb but I would bet that almost everyone who has had cancer has eaten. But I’m no scientist so don’t hold me to it.
That’s it, I’m going back to an all-beer diet.
Maybe they drowned themselves after they saw his movies.................
Yes, a Swedish scientist..........Long Pork.................
Chicken Soup........It’ can’t hurt!............................
good point- another point is that we do NOT know what else these folks ate, how they did or did not exercise, what kinds of chemicals they may have been exposed to during the trial periods- whether they lived in areas with more pollution, more exhaust from cars- or out in areas with contaminated ground water-
on and on and on it goes-
Did any of them chew gum? Did they drink milk with their meals? Did they use a lot of bathroom chemicals to clean with? As someone pointed out- correlation does not = causation
There is just too much that isn’t known about this study- It could very well be that those that developed the cancers- somehow increased their chances by some lifestyle changes, by not exercising, by increasing the consumption of unhealthy foods during the trial period
We don’t know that it was the chicken that increased their chances- Just because they may have eaten more chicken than other people i n the study doesn’t mean something else they did or didn’t do during the period couldn’t have been the cause
I didn’t save where I read it, but I do know it was a reliable source. The conclusion of the piece was that of your chances of getting cancer, 2/3 of the risk is due to your genetic makeup and the luck of the draw. The other third is environmental causes, what you eat, what you’re exposed to, things like that.
So 1/3, the minority, of your cancer risk is environmental and Behavioral. Basic common sense like not smoking or using tobacco, or working in a damaging environment or other obviously risky behavior. For example, getting hepatitis C and liver cancer from alcoholism or drug consumption, or having gay sex.
It’s actually pretty easy to reduce that 1/3 risk by a great deal. So where does that leave us? It leaves us at the mercy of Mother Nature and the roll of the dice. If you live reasonably well, cancer is just one of those things you can’t do anything about.
One thing I don’t like about these constantly scary studies is that the message they’re sending is anything bad that happens to you health-wise would not have happened if you hadn’t done what they tell you not to do. In other words, it’s all your fault. And that just isn’t so.
The universe is perverse and unfair.
I have another thought regarding health statistics. The myriad of diseases suffered by homosexual men and the complications from these diseases, like various cancers related to AIDS, skew statistics.
If you took gay men, statistically speaking, out of the general population when studying disease, I imagine what they claim to be your risk for some things would be in reality considerably less. Because they’re taking the high risk segment out of the statistical population.
Calculate the statistical average of getting lung cancer for the general population. Then remove all of the smokers from that population and rerun the statistical average risk for lung cancer. Big difference.
See my post number 35.
Is practically impossible to control for all variables in this type of research. You really end up having to have some heavy duty major facter like cigarette smoking and lung cancer. Otherwise all the interactions and the variables are just too damn complex.
While I commend the search for the truth in science, I think there’s a great deal of hubris involved here on the part of the researchers.
And drinking too much water makes you piss more often and gives you STDs.
Water? You mean like from the toilet?
