Abstract
The effect of meat consumption on cancer risk is a controversial
issue. However, recent meta-analyses show that high consumers of cured
meats and red meat are at increased risk of colorectal cancer. This
increase is significant but modest (20-30%). Current WCRF-AICR
recommendations are to eat no more than 500 g per week of red meat,
and to avoid processed meat. Moreover, our studies show that beef meat
and cured pork meat promotes colon carcinogenesis in rats. The major
promoter in meat is heme iron, via N-nitrosation or fat peroxidation.
Dietary additives can suppress the toxic effects of heme iron. For
instance, promotion of colon carcinogenesis in rats by cooked, nitrite-
treated and oxidized high-heme cured meat was suppressed by dietary
calcium and by α-tocopherol, and a study in volunteers supported these
protective effects in humans. These additives, and others still under
study, could provide an acceptable way to prevent colorectal cancer.

To answer your question, I've been "experimenting" on myself since
2001 (or you can date it about 14 years earlier, when I became a
vegetarian, then a vegan soon thereafter). I find cheese to be the
easiest to digest and eat it in several forms. I only ingest tiny
amounts of gelatin, and if I didn't I'd have problems with my
fingernails (and possibly other things). Otherwise, I have eaten
hardly any "meat" since around 1985.

You're talking about a "vegan" who eats cheese and some gelatin. Who
knows, he may also wear leather and silk. Do you have any evidence
that his mind was sound at some earlier point?
