I recently Blogged About The consequences about Processed Meat and it's effects that it caused Cancer According to WHO.
But still the Accurate reason is hard to find and many Researchers are finding the correct reasons about it.
Here's a latest update given by Dr. Sanjay Gupta
Of the thousands of things the World Health Organization has studied for possible links to cancer, this week's announcement that hot dogs, bacon and other processed meats increase the risk of colon cancer was especially hard to swallow for many.
It's a finding that has many seeking a deeper understanding about what this means.
Is eating bacon as bad as smoking? Exactly how much processed meat is harmful? Are your children at risk?
Lots of meat-eaters have enjoyed long lives and never got cancer. Why should I change my eating habits?
This is a discussion about risk across populations of people. There are smokers who live a long time as well. In just about everything we do in life -- we are constantly (sometimes subconsciously) evaluating the risk and benefit. With regard to this new study: It really comes down to balancing your risk tolerance with your love of bacon.
What exactly is a processed meat?
The World Health Organization (WHO) report defines processed meat as "meat that has been transformed through salting, curing, fermentation, smoking, or other processes to enhance flavour or improve preservation." Many processed meats may contain other red meats or meat by-products.
Everything causes cancer! Why take this seriously?
It is true that we are exposed to all sorts of different carcinogens, even before we are born. What is interesting here is that based on 800 studies looking back 20 years, we can better quantify risk -- as is the case with processed meats and colon cancer.
How much processed meat can I give my kids before their risk for cancer increases?
This new report looked at daily consumers of processed meat and concluded that each 50-gram portion of processed meat increases the risk of colorectal cancer by 18%. That's the equivalent of two pieces of bacon, two slices of ham, or one piece of smoked sausage.
If I can't see myself stopping my meat consumption and eat it in moderation, what is my best bet?
This new WHO report classifies processed meat as Group 1 -- carcinogenic to humans -- based on sufficient scientific evidence. Red meat is classified as Group 2A -- probably carcinogenic to humans -- based on limited scientific evidence. For now, you're better off with red, unprocessed meats.
But still the Accurate reason is hard to find and many Researchers are finding the correct reasons about it.
