Possible Link Between Red Meat Consumption And Increased Cancer Risk Identified
While the effect of eating meat on the risk of developing cancer is a contentious topic, the evidence that long-term consumption of red meat is strongly linked with a modest, but significant, increase in the risk of developing bowel cancer is convincing.

But now, a new study conducted on mice is finally offering us some insight.

Get Enough Protein?
It’s been three years since Fat, Sick & Nearly Dead hit the world stage – time flies when you’re having fun! I can’t tell you how many times I’ve been around the world, nor how many people I’ve had the good fortune to shake hands with or take selfies with.

Complete plant-based proteins do exist, and you don’t have to eat beans and rice together, or even at all, to obtain enough protein on a vegan diet.

A Green Monster’s Guide To Plant-Based Nutrition: Plant-Based Protein
Protein is a vital macro-nutrient as most everyone knows. Amino acids from different foods pair together to form protein in your cells.
