SACN Iron and Health Report | SACN:
"Adults with relatively high intakes of red and processed meat (around 90 g/day or more) should consider reducing their intakes. A reduction to the UK population average for adult consumers (70 g/day cooked weight) would have little impact on the proportion of the adult population with low iron intakes.
Leading UK nutritionist Yvonne Bishop-Weston says

Leading UK nutritionist Yvonne Bishop-Weston says
It's clear what you need to do if you want to reduce your risk of chronic disease - Eat more plant foods and less meat.
This is the equivalent of no more than one bacon roll or 1 lamb chop or 1 big mac per day.
That means you should at least be vegan for at least two meals a day such as Breakfast and lunch and only have a small portion meat for one meal a day.
There is still no safe advisory level for meat eating, the scientists will only confirm that risk significantly increases after 70g of meat per day.
There is mounting evidence that Plantarian style diets that avoid all saturated animal fat products and replace animal products and meat with natural wholefoods from plants can actually reverse the symptoms of heart disease, diabetes and cancer.
In the Oxford /Epic study it has been shown that a 22% reduction in risk of dying from heart disease can be attributed to eating at least 8 portions of fruit and vegetables per day.
The safest thing to do is to avoid all meat and dairy and eat a variety of different Plantarian foods.

Red meat cancer risk
OK at last, in 2011, the year of the Rabbit, the world is waking up and beginning to see sense, even Red Blooded meat eating newspapers such as The Mail and The Telegraph are reporting this.
Red meat cancer risk: | The Daily Mail:
"Research has shown that red meat significantly increases the risk of bowel cancer. It is the second most common form of cancer and affects 36,500 Britons every year.
It has also been linked to heart disease because of its high saturated fat content, type 2 diabetes and other forms of cancer including breast, lung and prostate.
In the Daily Telegraph they report
A landmark 2005 European study claimed that those who regularly eat more than 5.6oz (160g) of red meat daily increase their risk of contracting bowel cancer by a third. As many as 16,000 people die each year of bowel cancer in Britain, most of whom are diagnosed before they turn 50.
Following these concerns, the Scientific Advisory Committee on Nutrition (SACN) was asked by the Department of Health to review dietary advice on meat consumption as a source of iron.
Its draft report, published in June 2009, claimed that lower consumption of red and processed meat could reduce the risk of colorectal cancer.
The Scotsman reports
The committee, which includes a number of doctors, said those consuming more than 100g of red or processed meats - the equivalent of as little as two thick cut back bacon rashers in one leading supermarket - may need to be told to cut their intake.
The government will try to mediate these scientific findings with scare stories about iron - The irony is that studies show most meat eat eaters have less than optimal levels of iron and many have clinically low levels.
They will undoubtably fail to point out that iron is available in many plant foods which also provide a synergistic balance of many other minerals, vitamins, anti-oxidants, essential fats and more importantly without the high levels of saturated animal fat dietary cholesterol and dearth of important fibre.
