A sausage a day could lead to cancer: Pancreatic cancer warning over processed meat

Eating one sausage a day or two rashers of bacon raises the risk of pancreatic cancer by a fifth, according to research.
Scientists have found that even relatively small amounts of processed meat increase the chance of developing this deadly illness.
Pancreatic cancer is called ‘the silent killer’ because it often does not produce symptoms in early stages.

Health fears: Scientists say even one sausage a day can raise the risk of developing pancreatic cancer by nearly 20 per cent
Even when it does, the symptoms are often vague – such as back pain, loss of appetite and weight loss.
By the time the disease is diagnosed it is often too late and, because of this, it has one of the worst survival rates of all cancers and only 3 per cent of patients live beyond five years.
Little is known about its causes other than that smoking, excess alcohol and being overweight all seem to contribute.
Now scientists in Sweden have found that eating just 50g of processed meat a day raises the likelihood by 19 per cent.
This is equivalent to a few slices of ham or salami, a hot dog or sausage or two slices of bacon.
Eating 100g a day – a small burger – increases the risk by 38 per cent while 150g a day raises it by 57 per cent.
Ordinary red meat such as joints or steaks increases a man’s chance of getting the cancer, but not a woman’s.
But the risk posed by eating meat was substantially lower than for smoking, which was found to increase the likelihood of pancreatic cancer by 74 per cent.

Still hungry? Eating 100g a day - the amount found in a small burger - increases the risk of developing pancreatic cancer by 38 per cent
The research, published in the British Journal of Cancer, analysed the results of 11 other studies involving 6,000 patients with pancreatic cancer.
There is already widespread evidence that red and processed meat may trigger bowel cancer.
For this reason the Government last year published guidelines advising the public to limit their consumption to 500g of red and processed meat a week.
Professor Susanna Larsson, of the Karolinska Institutet in Stockholm said: ‘Pancreatic cancer has poor survival rates.
‘So it’s important to understand what can increase the risk of this disease.’
Just over 8,000 Britons are diagnosed with pancreatic cancer every year.

Yawn! They've said everything does at one stage or another. Just enjoy what you enjoy and die when you die
-
well, it says it increases the chance by 38% so a 38% increase of 0% (if you aren't genetically predisposed) is still 0%.
i think it's all genetics and all of this research showing that every single thing in the world causes cancer is pretty pointless because it doesn't help stop people from getting cancer just tells them that anything they eat will be bad for them - but what's the alternative to eating?
-
So far, research has shown that eggs, read meat, and now pork all increase the chance of cancer. I am going to become a vegan hippie.

newsflashs; eating massive amounts of foods to get "more muscle mass" naturally or on steroids because of a bruised ego and several psychological shortcomings is an unhealthy behavior...

Someday they'll say that having sex will kill you---because of the nagging girlfriend/wife, and that the resulting kids can give you a heart attack.

-
The trade off is worth it IMO.
-
10 out of 10 people die anyway.
