Processed Meats Declared Too Dangerous For Human Consumption

[polocross58]

[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

that aint gonna happen

[icyfroth]

Why does that not surprise me?

[chuk_77]

I will never stop eating bacon. Its a staple!!!!

[darksideofthemoon]

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

perhaps we should not eat anything at all..............

well im okay noy buying sliced/shaved silverside

last time i did from a woolworths deli had a massive bout of food poisoning

was sick as a dog for 10 days

not going through that again lol

and the only other thing on that list i eat is bacon and thats only every so often so not to fussed

tara

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.
