Question

Why does red meat cause colon cancer?

Answer 1

The reason red meat is supposed to cause colon cancer or other cancer is because when the red meat is cooked at high temperatures, the high temperature cooking of the red meat results in the production of compounds (heterocyclic amines and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons)

That is then supposed to cause bowel cancer and colon cancer in people with a genetic predisposition.

Not everyone will get cancer from eating red meat but some people do.

Red meat does not actually cause colon cancer or any other cancer but if you consume too much red meat then it can lead to other health issues that can lead to the colon cancer or other cancer.

Red meat itself is not cancerous.

However eating red meat has been shown to increase your risk of developing cancer later on in life.

But you usually have to eat a lot of red meat and not eat other healthy foods before the red meat leads to possible cancer.

I've eaten red meat for years myself and never have gotten cancer.

So you're not gonna always get cancer from eating red meat.

However if someone in your family has had or has cancer then you may also be more at risk for developing cancer.

But the red meat itself is not the cause of it but the red meat does increase your chances of developing cancer but I would not worry about it.

Answer 2

Colon Cancer is a type of cancer of the colon or rectum, located at the digestive tract's lower end.

Early cases of colon cancer can begin as noncancerous polyps.

These often have no symptoms but can be detected by screening.

For this reason, doctors recommend screenings for those at high risk of colon cancer or over the age of 50.

Colorectal cancer symptoms depend on the size and location of the cancer.

Some commonly experienced symptoms of colon cancer include changes in bowel habits, changes in stool consistency, blood in the stool, and abdominal discomfort.

Colorectal cancer treatment depends on the size, location, and how far the cancer has spread.

Common treatments for colon cancer include surgery to remove the cancer, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy.

If you think you have Colon Cancer you should get tested because if colon cancer is caught soon enough it can usually be cured.

Colon Cancer Screenings should always be done by the time you reach age 50 and continue to have those colon cancer screenings often enough to catch anything should colon cancer occur.

Colon Cancer Screening should be done by age 50 years old because age 50 and above is when most men develop colon cancer.

Not everyone gets colon cancer but it's good to get tested and have the colon cancer screening done so that if you do have colon cancer or the colon cancer is beginning then it can be caught soon enough.
