Can Processed Meat Give Cancer?
Ham, bacon, sausages, salami, corned beef are all forms of processed meat. In this busy world people prefer processed foods as it saves time. But the hidden fact is, processed meat can cause cancer. Consuming more than 150gms of processed meat every day is as harmful as smoking 3-4 cigarettes per day. Consumption of processed meat on a regular basis causes cancer. Let us see the various aspects of the consumption of processed meat and how it causes cancer.
Types
Of
Preservatives-
The
consumption
of
processed
meat
can
lead
to
cancer
as
many
chemical
preservatives
are
used
in
it.
Preservatives
like
nitrites
are
used
to
preserve
meat
for
a
longer
time.
Such
preservatives
are
potent
carcinogens
that
promote
pancreatic
cancer
and
are
also
high
in
salt
and
fats.
That
is
the
reason
why
the
processing
of
processed
foods
is
under
strict
monitoring
in
many
countries.
But
in
many
places
it
is
not
so.
So
its
your
duty
to
check
on
the
freshness
of
the
meat
before
purchasing
it.
Forms Of Cancer- The consumption of processed meat can cause pancreatic, lungs, stomach and prostate cancer. But the chances of pancreatic cancer are more due to its consumption. Pancreatic cancer is also called 'the silent killer'. The symptoms of this fatal disease cannot be spotted at an early stage. Eating even small portions of sausages, bacon or salami increases the chances of the occurrence of the disease. According to a recent study the consumption of processed meat increases the chance of pancreatic cancer to 56 percent while smoking increases it to 70 percent. As sausages and bacon are rich in fats so an over consumption of these foods also leads to obesity. In most of the cases people in an advanced stage could not be saved. Only 5 percent survive after diagnosis.
How Much Is Safe- Well, all these facts does not mean that you cannot at all consume processed meat as it leads to cancer. You definitely can, but only in small proportions. A balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle are the first keys to maintain a good health. First of all try buying good quality meat that is not processed or has no preservatives added to it. And even if you want to have processed meat then you can have as much as 50gms of meat per day.
Avoid having all forms of processed meats that can cause cancer. Switch to fresh foods in order to stay healthy.
