Still, even unprocessed meat does promote cancer, so why not stick to frozen or fresh vegetables? > The evidence that red meat (beef, pork and lamb) is a cause of colorectal cancer is convincing. Studies show, however, that we can consume modest amounts -- up to 18 ounces (cooked) per week -- without a measurable increase in colorectal cancer risk. > But when it comes to processed meat (ham, bacon, salami, hot dogs, sausages) the evidence is just as convincing, and cancer risk begins to increase with even very low consumption. > This is why the expert panel advises limiting red meat and avoiding processed meat. http://www.aicr.org/can-prevent/what-you-can-do/10-recommendations.html http://www.aicr.org/can-prevent/what-you-can-do/10-recommend...
