Processed meat 'linked to pancreatic cancer'


www.bbc.co.uk...
January 12, 2012

They said eating an extra 50g of processed meat, approximately one sausage, every day would increase a person's risk by 19%.

But the chance of developing the rare cancer remains low.

The World Cancer Research Fund suggested the link may be down to obesity.

Eating red and processed meat has already been linked to bowel cancer. As a result the UK government recommended in 2011 that people eat no more than 70g a day....

...It found that eating processed meat increased the risk of pancreatic cancer. The risk increased by 19% for every 50g someone added to their daily diet. Having an extra 100g would increase the risk by 38%.


So my question to everyone is do you eat processed meat? Considering a machine grinds animal bits into uniform sausage links, it doesn't surprise us that these processed meats do nasty things to the body.

I hardly ever eat bacon or sausages or red meat. I find going after organically grown chicken/turkey is the way to go.

Just another reason to stay away from processed meats....and dairy also. You never know what you are eating, so unless you are 100% sure what is in the food you eat, better stay clear from it unless you don't wish to live longer than your potential.

Cheers, and healthy living.

Ten years from now they'll find a link between tofu and face cancer.

Everything in moderation.

Except bacon. I like bacon-wrapped bacon sprinkled with bacon bits.

Considering it is 'processed' meat means that anything can be used to mechanically, chemically, artificially extract proteins from leftover cuttings of meat.

To further this thread though, consider another article posted by the Canadian CBC:

How much processed meat do you eat?


www.cbc.ca...

"Eating processed meats such as bacon or sausage may increase a person's risk of developing pancreatic cancer, according to a new survey.

A study by the British Journal of Cancer pooled together 11 other studies involving 6,643 people with pancreatic cancer. The data suggests an elevated risk of the disease when consuming processed meats."

I still wouldn't eat processed meats...
