According to the World Health Organization, Processed meats such as
bacon and ham do cause cancer. 50g of processed meat a day now
increases the chance of developing colorectal cancer by 18%.
The World Cancer Research Fund (WCRF) has warned for a number of years
that there is 'strong evidence' that eating a ridiculous amount of red
meat can cause bowel cancer.
Meat does have health benefits.
Red meat for instance is a good source of protein and
provides vitamins and minerals, such as iron and zinc. However,
Processed meats which have been modified (smoked, or salted for
preservation), either to increase shelf-life or alter flavour are the
problem. These additions increase the risk of cancer benefits.
