Charlie Bell, chief executive of fast food giant McDonald’s, has stepped down – after just seven months in the role – to focus on his battle with cancer. Mr Bell, 44, underwent surgery for bowel cancer two weeks after being named for the joint role of president and chief executive on April 19 … Mr Bell began his career at 15, flipping burgers at McDonald’s in Australia and has been with the firm ever since.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

An association was found between consumption of red meat, particularly processed meat, and risk of colorectal cancer … High consumption of red and processed meat may increase the risk of colorectal cancer in various ways, including the formation of carcinogenic agents. Heterocyclic amines are formed on the surface of meat when it is cooked in direct flame or at high temperatures. N-nitroso compounds are found in foods containing nitrates, or which have been exposed to nitrogen oxides, such as processed meats.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

<\/a>You know, losing one CEO to coronary heart disease<\/a> is unfortunate. However, losing another to colorectal cancer<\/a> just seems careless. An increased occurrence<\/a> of both diseases is linked with<\/a> the consumption of red meat<\/a>, especially processed red meat<\/a> cooked or seared at high temperatures<\/a>. Not exactly a good advertisement for McDonalds. Maybe time to recruit some people who haven’t been enjoying the free employee meals quite<\/i> so much? Maybe someone who hasn’t been chowing down on their cancer burgers<\/a> for decades?<\/p>\n
