I left most of my notes up in RI, where I was taking my mother to
oncologists, etc.  I spent some time in the library and found a
number of studies; the only one that I have a reference to at the
moment is: W.C. Willett, Relation of meat, fat, and fiber intake
to the risk of colon cancer in a prospective study among women.
New England Journal of Medicine 1990; 323:1664-72.

Quite true.  And it could well be that other factors of the
civilized diet make it difficult for us to digest meat properly.
