According to a report by the World Health Organization (WHO), Eating processed meats can increase colon cancer risk. Two of the most popular foods, bacon and hot dogs, belong to this food group, which has long been in the spotlight of the scientific community.
The report, which is based on 800 studies conducted on colon cancer, concludes that people who eat processed meats every day have a 18 percent more likely to get colon cancer than those that do not, a really alarming fact that will surely help a large group of people rethink their diet.
The industry has long used methods such as smoking, fermentation, curing and smoking to improve the flavor of your meats or increase their shelf life, both being a great source of economic benefits, but now there is strong evidence that links them to an increased risk of colorectal cancer, This is the reason why it is necessary to demand that this model change towards healthier alternatives, as is already happening with other foods.
Thus, all people are advised to limit the consumption of processed meats (bacon, sausages, sausages) as much as possible. In sandwiches, sausage can easily be substituted for roast turkey or chicken, while pepperoni in pizzas (also very harmful) is even easier to replace, as there are a large number of plant-based ingredients that provide excellent flavor. However, becoming a vegetarian is the smartest way out of this problem, as it is not just about processed meats, but Eating any kind of red meat also increases the risk of colon cancer, as well as pancreas and prostate.
