Bowel Cancer
Where do you start when you want to make millions of people sit up and listen? You could just put equine DNA (horse meat) in the food chain and wait for many years until someone actually checks.......I was amazed at how fast the equine DNA horse meat scandal spread throughout the UK and Europe, the biggest insult was not eating horse meat it was being told it was 100% beef or something else........Horse meat, I'm told, is actually not bad and certainly won't kill you. I wish I could get the message out there about bowel cancer as easily................
Bowel Cancer UK has previously been warning about eating an excess of all processed meat.
Red & processed meat risk
Over 40,000 men and women are diagnosed with bowel cancer in the UK every year, making it the third most common cancer; that's someone every 15 minutes.

Red & processed meat risk
`Evidence from the World Cancer Research Fund (WCFR) report Food, Nutrition, Physical Activity and the Prevention of Cancer: a Global Perspective suggests that there is an increased risk of bowel cancer with high consumption of red or processed meat.1 It is recommended that we eat no more than 500g of red meat per week and save processed meat as an occasional treat'.
The truth of the matter is that generally we do not consider bowel cancer or any other cancer for that matter,until it actually effects us, a family member, friend or network.

Causes & Risks
Although the exact cause of bowel cancer is unknown, there are certain factors that may increase your risk. In the UK, around 95% of cases occur in people over the age of 50. (I was 45) People with a mother, father, brother, sister, or child with bowel cancer may be considered for further testing. An inactive lifestyle and a poor diet that is low in fresh fruit and vegetables may increase the risk of bowel cancer. A high intake of red and processed meat, smoking and excess alcohol may increase the risk
