Manitoba Beef Producers Says Red Meat Cancer Risk Is Minimal
A World Health Organization report suggests there's a link between eating red meat and certain kinds of cancer, but local producers don't believe it.
Melinda German of Manitoba Beef Producers believes the risk is minimal, and that red meat is still a part of a healthy diet.
"Red Meat still has very high nutritional benefits and value, and like anything it should be in moderation and definitely it is a strong part of the Canadian Food Guide."
The WHO came out yesterday saying their study was misinterpreted, and they recommend reducing red meat consumption, not cutting it out altogether.

Health Canada issued an alert yesterday saying certain propane
gas sold in Manitoba and Saskatchewan lack the required odour

odourant added in order to alert consumers if there's a gas leak.

of an ignition source.
The affected propane gas was manufactured by Crescent Point
Energy and sold between April 2009 and October 2015.
The incident happened yesterday morning. Police say a 49-year-old
woman was found dead and are calling the circumstances suspicious.
Police have taped off a business on Marion Street near Defresne

Dauphin RCMP Constable Rob Tuff says the easiest way to keep kids safe is to make sure they can be seen by oncoming traffic.

Constable Tuff also recommends kids travel in groups, and with parents if possible.
