100 vegetarians.

But continue to read the surprising vegetarian cancer 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
• 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)
Red meat consumption should be limited to 1 serving per
week.
Avoid lunch meats with nitrate or nitrite preservatives. These preservative increase the risk of several
cancer.
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.
