Eating highly processed meat increases the risk of cancer. |
After conducting a long-term study on 2,000 people in the UK, the World Cancer Research Fund (WCRF) discovered that eating one meal of over-processed meat every day, about 50g in the form of sausage, can increase the risk of cancer by 20%, especially abdominal cancer.
This is an unhealthy eating habit, easily addictive because it suits the taste and is also the most favorite dish of the British people today. The reason is that these foods contain many harmful compounds such as smoke, salt, chemicals, additives... these substances are enhanced during the preservation and processing.
In addition to the risk of causing abdominal cancer, this food also increases the risk of other diseases such as prostate cancer, lung cancer, stomach cancer and nasopharyngeal cancer.
In addition to artificial toxins, this food has a high fat and iron content... which are also culprits that increase the risk of disease. Therefore, experts at WCRF have recommended that people should reduce their intake of the above foods and instead eat other natural, fresh, beneficial foods, especially those who carry defective genes and are at high risk of cancer.
