Vegetarians ‘avoid more cancers’

Tuesday, November 3rd, 2009

A new study has found that Vegetarians developed notably fewer cancers of the blood, bladder and stomach.
Overall, their results suggested that while in the general population about 33 people in 100 will develop cancer during their lifetime, for those who do not eat meat that risk is reduced to about 29 in 100.
