> 0.5% chance of dying prematurely. > the median age at diagnosis for colorectal cancer is 67. So statistically speaking eating 50g of processed meat a day reduces your life expectancy by 3.2 days: (78 years life expectancy in US - 67 median age of getting cancer - 1 year of dying from cancer) * 0.005 chance of receiving cancer * 0.18 increase of cancer probability * 365 days.
