Chicken may prolong life
CHICKEN may be a recipe for longer life, according to research on meat consumption.
Scientists found eating white meat slightly reduced the overall risk of dying or being killed by cancer.
In contrast, consuming too much red or processed meat produced a "modest" increase in death risk from all causes and increased the risk of dying specifically from heart disease or cancer.
The study, published in the journal Archives of Internal Medicine, was conducted among more than half a million people in the US.
