Eating this much processed meat has been linked to things like cancer, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and obesity.
That would be low consumption of whole grains, as Americans consume a high amount of processed, refined carbs. But processed meat follows closely behind, especially with colorectal cancer risk.Other poor dietary choices such as low vegetable and fruit intake and high consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages heighten the risks even more, Zhang added. She said that about 5 percent of all invasive cancer cases among U.S. adults can be linked to poor.
How bad is processed meat, though, really? Pretty bad, according to the World Health Organization, which classifies it as a “group 1 carcinogen.” Others in that category include tobacco and asbestos.that normal risk for colorectal cancer is 5 percent, but when you eat just one hot dog or four strips of bacon a day, that jumps to 18 percent. For women, eating two strips of bacon or half a hot dog daily increases risk for breast cancer by 21 percent.
Of course, there are options marked as “healthier,” Lockhart added. Those include deli meats, hot dogs, bacon, and sausage marked with terms such as ‘organic,’ ‘uncured,’ and ‘nitrate-free.’ But, Lockhart said, there hasn’t yet been research to prove these claims let you off the hook from the health risks of processed meats.
