• Researchers found that 33 out of 100 meat eaters will develop some form of cancer but only 29 out of 100 vegetarians.
• But continue to read the surprising twist. 

 
Researchers followed more than 61,000 people for 12 years. Over all the vegetarians contracted less cancer than those who consumed meat or fish or both.

Vegetarians got less of the following cancers:
• Leukemia
• Bladder cancer
• Stomach cancer
• Multiple Myeloma
• Leukemia
• Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma

Meat eaters got less of the following cancers:
• Colon cancer (vegetarians had slightly higher risk)
• Rectal cancer (vegetarians had slightly higher risk)
• Cervical cancer (vegetarians had a significantly higher risk)

Breast cancer and prostate cancer risks were similar for vegetarians and meat eaters. There was less risk for prostate cancer among fish eaters than meat eaters.
Researchers did not calculate the quantity of meat consumed each day.
