Topic: Processed meats rank alongside smoking as cancer causes – WHO (Read 1769 times)
The risk is minuscule. If you are vegetarian, then your risk of getting colo-rectal cancer once in your lifetime is somewhere around 56 per 1,000. And if you take an average 70 grams of processed meat a day (honestly, who takes that much every day?), then your chances jump to 66 per 1,000. So the increase in risk is just 10 per 1,000 people. I am not going to throw away my bacon and sausages.

I don't think all meat causes cancer just the processed ones are the ones you gotta look out for
Processed meat comes under level 1 carcinogens.
Red meat comes under level 2A.
So it is not just processed meat.

It is better to eat whole unprocessed foods in general.
It definitely would be healthy. The only problem is that they tend to be more expensive.
Even organic foods tend to be more expensive.

We're all gonna die anyway sooner or later. I don't wanna live my life in fear. Not every meat causes cancer, just pay attention as to what you put in your mouth and know where it came from.

If I cared any less I'd develop cancer of not giving a shit so I'm fucked either way.

Doesn't pretty much everything including breathing give you cancer unless it's like a vegetable? Lol.

Smoking can cause too many cancers including: Bladder, Cervix, Colon and rectum, Esophagus, Kidneys and ureters, Larynx, Liver, Lungs, Mouth, nose, and throat, Pancreas, Stomach, Trachea..
While meats can increase the risk of colon, stomach..
No comparison between the two!

I'm pretty sure it all depends on what meat are you eating. If you are able to get high quality meat from countryside (pigs, that were not fed by GMO stuff and etc.), the risk of cancer won't get any higher. Just main problem is, that most of meat that is selled in supermarkets is litterally garbage.
This, it depends where you get your meat and where it came from and if it has been processed or not and how much. All those stuff counts in. Even if all the meat causes cancer, more than a quarter of the human race is already diagnosed with cancer.

Your going to die no matter what you eat, drink, smoke or screw! When, is just a number! You really think they care? Screw it all!
I agree. When people tries to warn me about dangers of cigars or anything like that I basically think "what is the meaning of life when you can't just enjoy it?"Well I don't actually smoke but I cannot stop eating meat. I love it.

^ the world health organization is part of the united nations. Not sure about not being worth listening to though. But I agree with the rest. And this is nothing new and no one will stop eating processed meat now.
most processed foods are unhealthy. processed meats are disgusting (except bacon) but the WHO is a sham. its like the UN of health care. not worth listening to
Everything causes cancer. We breath in cancer we eat things that cause cancer. Our soil has been polluted over the years and all the additives added to the feed for animals is causing cancer, not just bacon and ham. Yes anything used to preserve meats will cause cancer.
Stop blaming one thing because it is everything that causes cancer. We need something to break down all the cancer causing properties in our foods because it will take a lot of years to clean our water, soil and animals of the cancer causing genes.

Also being alive is a cause of cancer...
Every day there's a study saying this or that causes cancer. I say just eat healthy and you'll be ok

This has been known for several years. And it's not a direct cause for colon cancer, but increases risks.
That's why I have been using for years the Meriva Curcumin, for prevention of colon cancer, works very well, regresses pre-cancerous lesions.

Perhaps not using GMO stuff (with lots of residual insecticides and herbicides) in animal feed, and properly smoking and curing meat instead of using "smoke flavour" and God knows what else would help a lot.
