The World Health Organization found processed meats to be carcinogens.
- sridca 8y agoTrumpeting to the world that meat causes cancer on the basis of these studies is ridiculously irresponsible and makes a mockery of the WHO. There is ample information to suggest that the WHO’s report is biased, incomplete, and scientifically dishonest.

- markstos 8y agoI wouldn't call an additional reference from the same psychiatrist as the original article as a "ample" information. Here's one of the expert reference she cites: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24769880 https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24769880 It acknowledges the research connecting red and processed meat with cancer and suggests further study be performed to understand the exact mechanisms involved. If you have any references from a second source that appears to discredit the WHO report, that would be more interesting.
- anonoholic 8y agoSo not meat, but as a result of chemicals added in the processing of meat.
- gotocake 8y agoProcessed meats are unequivocally bad for you, but when you compare the data on that to unprocessed meat the link to harm vanishes. Conflating the two is deeply dishonest.
