“Red and Processed Meat and Colorectal Cancer Incidence: Meta-Analysis of Prospective Studies… Conclusions: High intake of red and processed meat is associated with significant increased risk of colorectal, colon and rectal cancers. The overall evidence of prospective studies supports limiting red and processed meat consumption as one of the dietary recommendations for the prevention of colorectal cancer.” http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3108955/ 

 “Associations between red meat and risks for colon and rectal cancer depend on the type of red meat consumed… Cancer prevention guidelines recommend limiting intake of red meat and avoiding processed meat…  This study suggests that the risks for colon cancer and potentially for rectal cancer differ according to the specific red meat subtype consumed.” http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23427329
