But some studies do show that even cooked at high temperatures can cause cancer too. Some blame the HCA's (heterocyclic amines) but these are in Chicken too and chicken does not cause cancer.It's definitely known that red meat can produce genetic damage to colon cells in just a few weeks., but this does not prove that red meat causes cancer.These cells were non- malignant, and most of the time the damaged DNA is repaired by in-built mechanism of DNA repair.But note that if the repair isn't successful then malignancy results.Moderate consumption should be alright. But generally red meats are classified as probable cancer causing.</blockquote>
