Processed meat causes cancer, says WHO

This is all over the news.


Processed meat causes cancer, says World Health Organization

The World Health Organization said Monday that eating processed meat such as sausages and ham causes cancer, while unprocessed red meat may also be carcinogenic.

The WHO's cancer research unit now classifies processed meat as "carcinogenic to humans" based on evidence from hundreds of studies, and linked it specifically to colon, or colorectal, cancer.

The report outlined that simply eating 50 grams of processed meat each day -- the equivalent of two slices of ham -- can increase the risk of such cancer by 18%. However, the authors say the risks are relatively small to begin with.

The organization defines processed meat as any type of meat that is salted, cured or smoked to enhance its flavor or preserve it. Processed meat generally contains pork or beef, but may also contain poultry.

The WHO now classifies processed meat in the same category as smoking and asbestos, based on its certainty of a link with cancer, but stressed that did not mean they were equally dangerous.

Unprocessed red meat such as steak and lamb shanks is classified as "probably carcinogenic."

this isn't a news.

People have also compared eating a bag of chips as dangerous as smoking. You can look at almost anything that tastes awesome and it has a lot of cacer causing chemicals.

good luck

this is true.  When the ingredients have a bunch of chemicals you can't pronounce, it probably increases cancer risk.  But will they be able to attack and cure any form of cancer within 25-30 years??

 ;D

A 50y man has 0.68% risk colorectal cancer in next 10y. Eating processed meat increases it to 0.8%

More scare and shock.

Maybe even earlier than that. Who knows. Antibiotic called cd47 was invented years ago that shows promising results.



here's some article about it as well.

Fucking bullshit. The meat itself doesn't give you cancer. The potential increase comes from the use of nitrates like pink salt preservative and the smoking process.

They probably looked at a few thousand people with cancer and tried to link it. The majority might have had a hot dog in their life and that was their link. Nevermind all of the plastics , pollution, cell towers, wifi , radio waves, cell phones and shitty drinking water.

Simple

Paleo diet is probably the safest diet

Ordinary diet with chemicals and sugar is unquestionably shit, but it isn't a big deal if you have common sense and regulate

Fresh meat from a healthy animal is surely not the cause of any disease.
