Re: Animal Foods and BC Risk

Hi harrie,

I hope you get some responses from bigger brains than mine. My own initial impression is:

The only study involving people who eat in the USA was limited to 35 participants.

People in Europe have been and continue to be far more cautious and conscious of the importance of avoiding the various ways in which foods can be affected by the use of antibiotics, pesticides, herbicides, hormones, etc. and they make up by far the majority of those documented by the studies presented.

The article itself unfortunately does not indicate the proportion of animal foods consumed in relation to the rest of the diet (i.e., whether Europeans do a better job of balancing animal food sources with other food sources or not). Maybe the details in the studies themselves offer that information.
