Dr. Liu Zhongping, a cardiologist, mentioned that he had two friends who had been vegetarians for more than two decades. However, both developed symptoms of colorectal cancer in their 50s and were diagnosed with terminal colorectal cancer, and one of them was a monk, who had been a vegetarian for more than 30 years. Eating red meat or processed meat, such as sausages and ham, can increase the risk of colorectal cancer. Nevertheless, why do some people still get colorectal cancer even though they follow a vegetarian diet?
The Journal of the American Medical Association - Internal Medicine published a large-scale medical study in 2015, which tracked the diets of more than 70,000 Christians with healthy habits and colorectal cancers over a seven-year period.
