Default Western Diet Linked to Colon Cancer in Women

The problem with these diet comparison studies is that Asian diets,
high in fibrous rice, also tend to be devoid of red meat.


Not anymore. Hence, the study results.

It's not
because of any health consciousness, but simply because beef is a
premium import in Japan.


It's actually larger than you think. Hawaii exports a great deal of
beef to Japan, I believe.

Likewise, caloric levels tend to be
significantly lower on mainland China, simply because there's not
enough food to feed at American dietary caloric levels.


Again, the problem isn't a scarcity of food. It's a distribution
problem. There is plenty of food. That's not the issue.

It will probably be less than the number of people he kills in a
single month."
