3. Processed meat

If you’re a meat lover, giving up tasty sandwiches and a piece of meat can be a challenge. But be careful with eating processed meat products! Processed meat encompasses a broad array of products subjected to various processing methods, such as curing, smoking, or the addition of preservatives. This encompasses a vast spectrum, including sausages, bacon, hot dogs, and most deli meats commonly sandwiched between slices of bread.

Years of study are showing us that 1 out of 17 people died who ate 160 grams of processed meat. That’s 44 percent more cancer risk than people who ate 20 grams or less! The processing of meat involves extensive utilization of chemicals and salt to maintain freshness, along with the inclusion of numerous preservatives—some of which overlap with those found in cigarette smoke. Do you want to reduce the risk of cancer? Then we suggest prioritizing fresh meat products over their processed counterparts.
