Don't worry. Continue to eat chicken. It's a good meat.
K Shanmugam Sc I see the parliament news today 22 November 24 on internet bullying, Singapore government seems to restrict internet bullying to youth phenomenon when this is far from truth. Many internet bullies are not youths at school but adults or even old people like the lazy idle Cantonese bullies in a rat hole forum that take salary don’t work but spent working hours ganging up to abuse me everyday and when you fight their bullying and sexual harassment, a self admitted Cantonese man in the group shamelessly turned around to repeat lies that I want to have sex with him.www.chickencheck.in
Cancer: Does eating chicken cause or increase the risk of cancer?
Does eating chicken cause or increase the risk of cancer?
The totality of research on eating poultry, including chicken, suggests there is no link between eating poultry and cancer risk. The totality of research also suggests that as you eat more poultry, your risk of cancer goes down (i.e. poultry is moderately protective).
In fact, many studies have found no or a moderately protective link between consuming poultry and risk or progression of various types of cancers – including but not limited to colorectal, prostate, esophageal, breast, blood (e.g. leukemia), gastric, non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma and multiple myeloma among others.

I read a recent study published by researchers from Oxford University that linked eating chicken to a higher risk of cancers. Is this a credible study?
This study was a single abstract presented at a scientific conference and should be considered exploratory work until more details on the research are made publicly available. This study has also not yet gone through the peer-review process, which is used to assess the quality, validity and credibility of a paper before it is published in a scientific journal. Peer review is important and benefits everyone from researchers to healthcare providers to consumers because it helps to ensure that journals publish robust science that can be used reliably by those making decisions.
While this study did claim to find a positive association of poultry intake with prostate cancer, non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma and malignant melanoma, the study authors acknowledge their findings require further investigation. The observed results could be due to external factors — like certain lifestyle choices, including alcohol consumption — that may not have been accounted for during the analysis. Therefore, we have no way of knowing what factors were responsible for these results. Until full details on the study are released and the research is published in a peer-reviewed scientific journal, there would be no way to determine this because it is not included in the study abstract.
Additionally, by design, this particular study cannot reliably explain a mechanism for the observed results and poultry. Because this was a single, standalone study, it is important to interpret findings in context of the total body of evidence, and previous studies on poultry and risk of these cancers. Interestingly, the findings from all previous research and larger body of evidence on this topic – an important factor to keep in mind when evaluating and applying the results.

Should I stop eating chicken when I see studies, either new or old, that show a link between chicken and a higher risk of cancer?
Often, studies that make news headlines are single, standalone studies, and headlines are often misleading, confusing or missing key details needed to paint a full picture of the findings. Therefore, it is important to always see if new findings hold up to the collective body of evidence on a topic and assess if the study design and quality that made headlines is something that is credible and can be repeated by other scientists. In the case of poultry and risk of cancer, new findings may not be nearly strong enough to guide people towards removing poultry (e.g. chicken) from their diet, despite what headlines may claim. Resourcesare available to help give you a greater understanding of the scientific process and enable you to critically evaluate the scientific literature the next time a study headline suggests “chicken causes cancer.”
In actuality, there may be more negative outcomes on health as a result of removing chicken from the diet because of a misleading headline as chicken can add to the overall quality of your eating pattern throughout the life and health span (e.g. pregnancy, infancy, adolescence, older age), supply shortfall vitamins and minerals under consumed by most Americans, contribute accessible, affordable protein to a weight control program, aid in muscle and bone health and fit into dietary patterns that promote heart health and the management of blood sugar.

Six days ago I made a post that documented these adult bullies ganging up to bully me « Unfortunately there are many criminal bullies hiding in rat hole forum brazenly doing defamation crimes to me everyday and for years. Their profile is self claimed Cantonese or Hakka that used Cantonese vulgarities on me and one such brazen and proud Cantonese criminal with self admitted Cantonese dirty slut mother just took my life story and twist into a cheap slut whore mistress story when I am a virgin with annulled marriage. « .
Subsequent to this post, not only did the brazen Cantonese criminal bully proudly doing defamation crimes of me showed no signs of remorse but he proudly churned out mass of daily chicken and mistress threads and gang up with other Cantonese and Hakka bullies in the group to make sleazy and insulting comments of me either directly or indirectly using insinuating insults.
And everyone knows it’s Chinese culture to refer to prostitutes as chicken and this brazen Cantonese bully actually started a thread before in March 24 to explain why are prostitutes called chicken so it’s definitely not innocent but evil intentional harassment of me.
And this brazen Cantonese criminal serial liar and other bullies ganging up in the rat hole forum have the audacity to do defamation crimes and harassment crimes to me then act innocent and turned around to call me mad. They think their identity is unknown and can hide in rat hole to abuse me for years to feel good in their jealous sore loser life, such evil people should be severely punished.
Update 3 December 24 the evil arrogant Cantonese bullies continue to do defamation crimes on me smearing and insulting me as slut prostitute and one of the Cantonese bully that spewed much Cantonese vulgarities on me previously and self admitted a thief that committed CBT in office and was jailed for buying illegal goods made defamatory baseless false accusations of me cheating money of my family members and relatives to buy condo etc character assassination of me.
Actually what happened to me is like what happened to the Malaysian influencer that committed suicide and died with people making lewd comments and more. In fact what I encountered is much worse both online and offline with these vicious Cantonese and other bullies hiding in rat hole forum and offline bullies that made whistles and knocks.
Update 5 December 24 the evil lowlife Cantonese criminal bully in the rat hole stole hundreds and thousand of hours of his salary paid time to create so many outright prostitute and chicken threads to harass me that just listing a fraction of his threads took hours and he still created more today with his Cantonese bully pride to persecute me to the evil intention to make me kee siao go commit suicide, which is what his Malaysian accomplice in the forum openly admitted too.
Update 6 December 24 another Malaysian Cantonese that has for years up slut whore mistress threads around me and was gloating of causing people slow death did the same evil dirty trick again up a thread with title promiscuous to harass me with his bully pride. And subsequently many Cantonese bullies in that rat hole forum keep upping the thread around me using innocuous comments to harass
