I'm hoping others will have thoughts on this but there do seem to be some 
confounding factors.  First of all -- many post-meno women are over-fat or 
obese -- this in and of itself increases risk of many hormonal cancers.  
Does "adjusted data" mean they take differences in body fat compostion into 
consideration?  Also, what were these post-menos eating WITH the meat?  
Most Americans don't dream of eating red meat without bread/buns or 
fries/potatoes or creamed/cheesy spinach side dishes.  Breast cancer is more 
common as one ages -- hence post-meno women were ALREADY at increased 
risk -- was meat blamed unfairly?  And Karen brings up a good point -- was 
the meat typical US meat -- grain fed and full of antibiotic/hormone residues?  
Also, did these women smoke and/or drink alchohol (can raise estrogen) and/or 
just plain eat too many calories overall?  Obviously I'm biased because I love 
red meat -- it's my absolute favorite food and I often eat it more than once a 
day -- plus I'm a tad worried because I'm in the peri-meno years...
