- Consumption of processed meat — including hot dogs, bacon, and lunch meats — can increase the risk of cancer, according to a new statement from a WHO research agency.
- The group also announced that eating unprocessed red meat, such as beef or lamb, can "probably" cause cancer, although the evidence here was less convincing.
- This is the direst warning on meat yet, although other major health organizations had previously recommended that Americans cut down on their meat consumption.
- The evidence mostly relates to colorectal cancer and heavy meat consumption, but while the overall cancer risk is small, it increases depending on the amount of meat a person eats. msn
