Eating chicken instead of steak, lamb or sausages 'slashes a woman's risk of developing breast cancer by 28%'
Women who eat a lot of red meat are 23% more likely to develop breast cancer
Those who consume poultry are 15% less at risk of the invasive disease
Red meat has been found to contain cancer-causing compounds
Swapping beef, lamb and pork for chicken could slash a woman's risk of breast cancer, research suggests.
The US National Cancer Institute study examined the diets of more than 42,000 women and tracked them for eight years.
Those who ate the most red meat were almost a quarter more likely to develop an invasive form of breast cancer than those who consumed the least.
Whereas those who ate the most poultry, such as chicken, turkey and duck, were 15 per cent less likely to develop the disease, the research found.
Scientists also found swapping steak, sausages and game for chicken reduced the women's risk of the disease by 28 per cent.
