in the layout. Visually it is very striking, a turn-around from earlier issues. The magazine excels in frequent discussions on core spiritual values and their application to the world today."

MAJOR STUDIES FIND LINKS BETWEEN EATING RED MEAT AND CANCER RISKS
It's full of deep cultural values, beauty and expertise. You have brought the journal to new heights. Paramacharya Palaniswami (Editor of Hinduism Today)
he Jain diet may be looking more and more like the way to go for a long and healthy life. The European Prospective
Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition (EPIC) looked at the dietary habits of over 500,000 people across Europe over 10 years and the results are worrying. Bowel cancer risk was a third higher for those who regularly ate over two 80g portions of red or processed meat a day, compared to less than once a week. EPIC's study is reported in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute. Since the study began, 1,330 people have developed bowel cancer. It also found that low fibre diet increased the risk of bowel cancer.
The pictures truly capture the essence of the articles and brings the whole magazine together. Kid Spirit is rare and interesting-a real inspiration to our children. It unites the world and helps us help our future ambassadors of the Jain religion. Varsha Gudka (Subscriber, UK)
ssue 23 of Jain Spirit was made up of a mixture of new and different elements. We had Californian girl Shayna Parekh as Guest Editor.
She worked her proverbial Jain butt off commissioning and collating the freshest set of articles. We had our new Art Editor, Joanne Wood, calling the artistic shots from start to finish. This is her 3rd issue to date, but in 23 she really put her graphic stamp on the pages. The magazine is now six years old and it is finally finding a style that makes it a proponent of modern Jainism. The Jain Spirit team excitedly watched the issue unfold with a feeling that something really special was happening and to cut the long story short: Issue 23 worked!!! A big thank you goes out to all those involved. Shayna - you can be our guest anytime!
We can be inundated with new theories or factors which increase our risk of developing the big C, but these studies strongly show that the damaging pressure put on the body when digesting red meat is undeniable, Lead researcher, Professor Sheila Bingham of the MRC Dunn Human Nutrition Unit in Cambridge said: "People have suspected for some time that high levels of red and processed meat increase the risk of bowel cancer, but this is one of the largest studies worldwide and the first from Europe of this type to show a real relationship." Professor Bingham said there were several theories about why red meat should increase the risk of bowel cancer.

... compliments for issues more brilliant than the former every time. You have articles about a quantity of matters, each one more interesting than the last. I am proud to have subscribed to it. Pierre Amiel (Nice, France)
OF MEAT AND MEN:
Jain Spirit triumphs! The best volume ever in my view. Less tame, more interesting to read and visually absolutely brilliant. Peter Flugel (Professor of Jain Studies at SOAS, UK)
She believes the most likely explanation is that compounds called haemoglobin and myoglobin, which are found in red meat, trigger a process called nitrosation in the gut, which leads to the formation of carcinogenic compounds. Alternatively, the problem might be caused by compounds called heterocyclic amines, carcinogenic compounds created in the cooking process.
