[rebelbodybuilder]

after all the hype about red meat and cancer and all that crap im alittle skeptical about eating it! lol! but... i know you have to have that great steak to make some good gains? i eat lots of chicken and salmon/tuna.. but what would you guys suggest to gain that same size but without the red meat?? thanks guys......

AFAIK the problem is that burnt/overcooked red meat contains cancer causing carcinogens - not red meat in general.

so you say roll on with the steaks and beef but dont over cook? i like my steaks medium rare but doctors say thats when the cancer will hit!!??

this post just about sums it up

oh, fuck it. Sausage tastes good. Bacon tastes good. Steak tastes good. There are a lot of steps I'm willing to take to ensure my long-term health; skipping red meat isn't one of them.

Dont listen to everything doctors suggest everything has its risks eggs have a risk of salmonella, chicken, E Coli. They even say too much water is bad for you (I guess it is if your drowning in it).

If you still worry about then eat shit loads of brocholli because brocholli contains sulforaphane, which is a cancer fighting agent. Mabey this will make you feel abit safer eating red meat.

Dont worry about cancer, people these days get cancer from EVERYTHING. Masturbate too much and you'll get cancer too.

Eat the meat, you're not gonna starve to death just because all of our food is contaminated with pesticides are you?
