Protect Yourself Against Processed Meat Cancer

Hot dog, bacon, ham, corned beef, sausage, luncheon meat. We all grew up with these great-tasting processed meat stuffs. Alongside this, colon and pancreatic cancers also grew at skyrocketing rates.

Menopausal women who take calcium supplements, are on low carb dieting or hormone replacement therapy, are prone to suffer from this deficiency.
