This observation appears to be specific to female as opposed to male breast cancer.

You can probably avoid red meat and still have breast cancer, just as many non-smokers still get lung cancer. Cool

Oh, please! If sufficient studies are done, you can link damned near anything to some kind of tumor. After thrity years of anecdotal, non-scientific observation, I am totally convinced that - other than viral tumors - the most consistent factor in neoplastic occurence is genetic. There are certainly other considerations. Mammary tumors in dogs are quite common in unspayed females, and I assure you that most of them I saw ate dog food rather than red meat. The common factor for them was estrogen, not diet. On the other hand, I saw a total of two hyper-aggressive pancreatic tumors in dogs, and they were fourteen months apart - in a mother and daughter Lhasa Apso pair. Think there could have been a hereditary component there?

COw Doc, we're talking about human breast cancer, not canine!

Even if there is a red meat connection, it may be how that meat was raised, with which hormones, rather than some factor about the meat itself.

Also, how the meat was cooked.

MIT had completed a long term study on genetic components of polymorphism and disease occurences in different dog breeds and discovered that single nucleotides , genetically transferred within specific breeds leads to many of the so called "favored ailments" that dog breeds can carry. AS a result , te researchers have begun transferring their methodologies to various human populations.
