See why you should reduce your intake of processed meat

According to the World Health Organization, Processed meats such as bacon and ham are causative agents of cancer.

Well, it has now been proven that 50g of processed meat a day increases the chance of developing colorectal cancer by 18%.

The World Cancer Research Fund (WCRF) has admonished for a number of years that there is ‘strong evidence’ that eating a ridiculous amount of red meat can cause bowel cancer although meat does have its own health benefits.

Red meat for instance is a good source of protein and provides vitamins and minerals, such as iron and zinc.

However, Processed meats which have been modified (smoked, or salted for preservation), either to increase shelf-life or alter flavour are the problem. These modifications highly increase the risk of cancer.
