Processed Meats Declared Too Dangerous For Human Consumption

polocross58 — Mon, 09 Dec 2013 06:10:47 GMT

[quote]The World Cancer Research Fund (WCRF) has just completed a detailed review of more than 7,000 clinical studies covering links between diet and cancer. Its conclusion is rocking the health world with startling bluntness: Processed meats are too dangerous for human consumption. Consumers should stop buying and eating all processed meat products for the rest of their lives.[/quote]

[quote]processed meats increase the risk of pancreatic cancer by 67 percent. Another study revealed that every 50 grams of processed meat consumed daily increases the risk of colorectal cancer by 21 percent[/quote]

To be avoided:

Beef jerky
Bacon
Sausage
Hot dogs
Sandwich meat
Frozen pizza with meat
Canned soups with meat
Frozen meals with meat
Ravioli and meat pasta foods
Kid’s meals containing red meat
Sandwich meat used at popular restaurants
Nearly all red meats sold at public schools, restaurants, hospitals, hotels and theme parks

It doesn't suprise me either...

One day they will say the same for all grain products. Since I gave up all grain products I have lost weight and kept it off.

I can eat just about anything.. butter, full cream milk etc just so long as I don't eat grains

That suits me, it's so easy.

It also means I don't like to buy tinned foods and very rarely processed meats.

Oh how much we have been dragged into believing all the foods in this modern world are safe.. they aren't...

If you keep to fresh meat, fish, veges and fruit you'll be fine

I'm with you tara. Never, ever buy fresh from the 'fresh food people'

I have had food poisoning from their roast chooks. They argue that

chicken doesn't have to be thoroughly cooked. They're going to do

some serious damage to someone with that attitude.

Looking at the list again, I don't really eat any processed meat.

My MIL died from pancreatic cancer after never having a sick day in her life. She had 4 children which was the extent of her hospital visits.

She also had a very limited diet, fresh meat, vegetables and fruit. Cakes, biscuits and cheese, bread. No processed foods, no chicken.

Size 8, very fit and active.

PC58, more food for thought:

Several websites claim that a World Cancer Research Fund review of thousands of cancer studies makes this startling conclusion.
FALSE

World Cancer Research Fund spokeswoman says it's “scaremongering” to claim processed meat is too dangerous for consumption

An old rumor has resurfaced on Twitter and blog sites, prompting headlines at such sites as Examiner.com and DreamHealer to scream the same claim: “Processed meats declared too dangerous for human consumption.”
Spokeswoman Sarah West told MSN News via email, “The articles talking about processed meat being 'too dangerous for human consumption' are unhelpful and scaremongering. We would say that if people can't cut out processed meat completely, they should cut down. WCRF advocates a sensible, healthy, balanced diet.”

"Oddly enough, the World Cancer Research Fund’s website does not state anywhere that processed meats have been declared "too dangerous for human consumption.” It says there is “convincing” evidence that processed meat (and red meat) “increases risk” of colon and rectum cancers, while fiber and exercise help prevent them.

Cancer Council

There is limited suggestive evidence that red meat may be associated with an increased risk of oesophageal, lung, pancreatic and endometrial cancer, and processed meat with oesophageal, lung, stomach and prostate cancer.
There does not appear to be a strong association between red meat or processed meat and the risk of other cancers.

Why the dredging PC58? :

BBC 31 October 2007

There is no new research involved in this document: the panel examined 7,000 existing studies over five years.

That's not very nice really. I quite like a bacon and egg breakfast on a Sunday morning. We've all got to die of something.
