Avoid all processed meats say cancer experts

HAM and bacon should be cut from our diets to avoid the risk of bowel cancer, a landmark study has shown.

The World Cancer Research Fund study found strong evidence that eating red meat and processed meats such as pastrami, salami, and frankfurters can cause bowel cancer.

The panel – that has reviewed half a million published papers worldwide - recommended that the health conscious should eat less than 18 ounces of red meat per week and avoid processed meat altogether.

The study that will be released on Wednesday, defined processed meat as preserved by smoking, curing, salting or the addition of preservatives. Not all minced meats and hamburgers were considered “processed”.

It also found a direct link between obesity and alcohol intake and the likelihood of falling victim to cancer.

Survey chair Sir Michael Marmot, professor of epidemiology and public health at University College London, was surprised at these findings.
