To Dana's question about refined carbohydrates being a possible confounding
factor  in studies relating meat consumption with the development of cancer, here
is slightly tangential but not too far afield response  Recent studies in animals
have demonstrated a tumor promoting effect for hyperinsulinemia.  See, for
instance,

Koohestani N, Tran TT, Lee W, Wolever TM, Bruce WR. Insulin resistance and
promotion of aberrant crypt foci in the colons of rats. on a high-fat diet. Nutr
Cancer 1997;29(1):69-76
