OK, let me first start off by saying that I have a BS and PhD in Nutritional Sciences and that I am currently researching the effects that meat has on prostate cancer at Johns Hopkins. I am sorry that I cannot read the article which you referenced in the debate, as it seems to not be working at this time. Yes, meat can cause cancer when it is over cooked and consumed in large quantities. No, if you eat meat a few times a week and don't over cook it, you will not get cancer. It also depends on the type of cancer. For example, meat is thought to increase the risk of colon, breast and prostate cancers, but not skin cancer. Here is a great article from the The American Institute for Cancer Research (AICR) which has funded some of my research and is the best source for diet and cancer information in the whole world!
