Hey mods, can this be changed to a non-sensationalist link? Title: Updated WCRF Cancer Prevention Recommendations Link: https://www.wcrf.org/dietandcancer/cancer-prevention-recommendations https://www.wcrf.org/dietandcancer/cancer-prevention-recomme... The actual source is much more informative.

“The evidence on processed meat and cancer is clear-cut. The data show that no level of intake can confidently be associated with a lack of risk. Processed meats are often high in salt, which can also increase the risk of high blood pressure and cardiovascular disease” – Professor Martin Wiseman, World Cancer Research Fund International’s Medical and Scientific Adviser This Recommendation is not to completely avoid eating meat. Meat can be a valuable source of nutrients, in particular protein, iron, zinc and vitamin B12. However, eating meat is not an essential part of a healthy diet. People who choose to eat meat-free diets can obtain adequate amounts of these nutrients through careful food selection. from the source
