This is intriguing, because
many experts have assumed that any lowering of colon cancer risk seen in
populations who consume diets high in fish should be attributed to the
relative lack of meat in such diets. While bone-in hams
are traditionally seen as more elegant and boneless considered easier to
serve, both have the same mouth-watering taste. Boneless hams, recognizable by label
and heavy plastic or foil wrapping , keep for several weeks in their
original packaging in the refrigerator.

All varieties of ham are either bone-in or boneless . Bone-in hams are available
in a variety of shapes -- whole or as a shank or butt half -- and typically
serve two to three people per pound.

AICR Welcomes Further Evidence that Red Meat Causes Colon Cancer


The authors found that the two effects -- meat increasing risk and fish
lowering risk -- were independent of each other.

for cancer remains unchanged:

In Surprise, New Study Also Reveals Protective Effect of Fish

WASHINGTON, Experts at the American Institute for
Cancer Research (AICR) today welcomed the latest results from the largest
scientific study to investigate the links between diet and cancer risk ever
undertaken. Researchers tracked the diets of over half a million subjects in
ten European countries for an average of 5 years. Uncooked hams typically require
20-30 minutes per pound at 350 degrees Fahrenheit to heat.

the authors did not distinguish between types of fish, the existence of such a
protective effect seems to align with recent laboratory and clinical evidence
on the anti-cancer activity of omega -3 fatty acids, found in tuna, salmon and

winning New American Plate program is presented in brochures, seminars and on

They found that those subjects who ate the most red meat (beef, pork,
veal, lamb) and processed meats (sausages, ham, bacon, and cold cuts) had a 35
percent greater risk of developing colon cancer compared to those subjects who
ate the least of these foods. Previous evidence linking
consumption of fish to lower risk colon cancer has been less consistent.

The American Institute for Cancer Research (AICR) is the cancer charity
that fosters research on diet and cancer and educates the public about the
results .
