The latest research on health problems caused by processed meats indicates that they are responsible for dramatic increases in cancer rates among men and women who consume larger quantities.
Last year, the World Health Organization issued new guidelines that warned about the dangers of processed meats such as hotdogs, bacon and sausages, in that they dramatically increase your risk of cancer – on a scale similar to smoking cigarettes or breathing in asbestos.
As reported by The Guardian, the WHO, citing research, highlighted the dangers of eating processed meats by placing bacon, ham, sausages and burgers on its list of cancer-causing substances. In addition, even fresh red meat made the list as being unhealthy.
The WHO warning about the “carcinogenicity of red and processed meats,” came in a WHO and International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) analysis, published in the UK-based Lancet medical journal.
The guidelines brought the UN’s position into line with the World Cancer Research Fund, which also noted that there is enough evidence to suggest that red and processed meats can lead to colorectal cancer (which is also increasing, by the way).
