Red Meat, High Protein
Diets
Increase Risk of Colorectal Cancer
Consumption of red and processed meat has been associated with colorectal cancer in many studies. Only a few studies have examined risk in relation to long-term meat intake or the association of meat with rectal cancer. The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between recent and long-term meat consumption and the risk of colon and rectal cancer.
The subjects in this study consisted of 148,610 adults aged 50 to 74 years from 21 states with population-based cancer registries. The subjects provided information on meat consumption in 1982 and again in 1992 when they were enrolled in the Cancer Prevention Study II (CPS II) Nutrition Cohort. Subjects were followed from 1992 through 2001 to determine the incidence of colorectal cancers.
Subjects with the highest intakes of red and processed meat in both 1982 and 1992 had the highest incidence of colorectal cancer. Long-term consumption of poultry and fish was inversely associated with risk of colorectal cancer.
The results of this study demonstrate the value of examining long-term meat consumption in assessing cancer risk. Fitness Professionals can use this information to educate clients on their overall disease risk and make suggestions for reducing those risks. This information may be cause for concern for those clients who have adopted high protein diets and plan to remain on these plans long term.

Sports Drinks
Shown
to Erode Tooth Enamel
The consumption of carbohydrate-electrolyte beverages has increased significantly among both athletes and recreational athletes. The frequent intake of these acidic sports drinks can lead to dental erosion. New carbohydrate-electrolyte sports drinks have been designed which are less acidic or contain calcium which has been shown to reduce enamel erosion. The purpose of the study was to determine the erosive effect of three study beverages on enamel erosion during exercise.
Nineteen healthy adults served as subjects and exercised 75 minutes, 5 days per week for a period of 3 weeks. There were 3 testing periods and subjects were not told which drink was being administered during each period. The drinks tested were water, a commercially available carbohydrate-electrolyte drink and a modified carbohydrate-electrolyte drink.
The commercially available carbohydrate-electrolyte drink showed levels of erosion 30 times higher than that of water and the modified carbohydrate-electrolyte drink. The most important variable for tooth erosion in this study was the type of beverage consumed. Fitness Professionals should inform their clients of this potential risk to their dental health.
