Limit Red, Processed Meats to Cut Cancer Risks

May 22, 2011

Put down the salami sammich. New cancer research, which is being billed as "the most authorative report" on the subject, says there's a direct link between eating red meats like beef, lamb and pork and processed meats like salami and increased cancer risk. More precisely, bowel cancer. To cut your risk of getting cancer, the report urges you to limit your intake of burgers, grinders, bacon and all sorts of other greasy goodness, The Guardian is reporting. 

The World Cancer Research Fund conducted the study and says that About 17,000 cancer cases (43 percent) could be prevented every year with improved health habits, including diet, exercise and less alcohol.
