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.

Just look at this undeniable connection. "Just one link of sausage a day raises your risk of getting pancreatic cancer by 19%. Two pieces of bacon and that number shoots up to 38%. Overall, people who ate the most processed meats, hot dogs and sausages, showed a whopping 67% increased risk of pancreatic cancer over those who consumed little or none." [British Journal of Cancer (2012)]
