NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - People who eat red meat and processed meat have an increased of developing colorectal cancer, according to the results of a large review of the published literature, which will be published in the International Journal of Cancer.
Many studies have documented this relationship, "although the associations were usually not statistically significant," write Drs. Susanna C. Larsson and Alicja Wolk, of the Karolinska Institute, Stockholm. The researchers collected 15 studies on red meat (including 7367 subjects) and 14 studies on processed meat (including 7903 subjects).
Compared with those who ate the least red meat, subjects who ate the most, had a 28-percent increased risk of colorectal cancer. For processed meat, the increased risk was about 20 percent.

Men who ate 120 grams per day of red meat had a 28-percent increased risk of colorectal cancer, and those who ate 30 grams per day of processed meat had a 9-percent increased risk.
There was a positive association between both types of meat and both types of cancer. However, red meat was more strongly associated with rectal cancer.

NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - Treating rheumatoid arthritis with "biologic" immunosuppressive drugs, such as TNF-blockers, neither increases nor decreases the risk of heart attack or stroke compared with use of methotrexate, the most commonly prescribed drug for rheumatoid arthritis, new research indicates.
However, steroid use does increase the likelihood of heart attack and stroke.
Rheumatoid arthritis patients are at increased risk for cardiovascular disease, presumably because of widespread inflammation, Dr. Daniel H. Solomon, from Harvard Medical School in Boston, and colleagues note in their article in the journal Arthritis and Rheumatism.
For their study, the researchers assessed immunosuppressant use for 946 RA patients who experienced a heart attack or stroke and 9460 similar patients who did not. Methotrexate was selected as the comparison drug.
As noted, the biologic anti-rheumatoid agents appeared to have no effect on the risk of heart attack and stroke. Steroids, by contrast, raised the risk by 50 percent.
The researchers call for further studies to investigate the cardiovascular effects of rheumatoid arthritis drugs.
