Processed meat cancer risks for bacon, sausages, ham, red meat
Health authorities have recommended that people reduce the amount of processed meat eaten to less than 70g a day to reduce the risk of bowel cancer. This includes bacon, salami, ham, sausages and similar processed red meat. A new research study in Sweden has found an association between pancreatic cancel and processed meat. Eating an additional 50g of processed meat, about one sausage, every day increased the risk by 19% and eating an extra 100g per day increased the risk by 38%.
