Abstract excerpt
Although the etiology of colon cancer remains uncertain, an increasing body of epidemiologic evidence indicates that red meat consumption is an important risk factor. The cooking of red meat produces a class of potent experimental carcinogens, the heterocyclic aromatic amines (HAA). These induce...
