The wording of this either is confusing or is a huge understatement. Does this mean that eating a serving a day for some time period correlates with a huge increase in heart disease and diabetes or, read literally, that each day you eat a serving of processed meat correlates to a huge increased risk (which would further increase across more days)?
- travisjungroth 4y agoThe explanation that would make sense to me is y = x ^ 1.42 Where x is the average number of servings of processed meat per day and y is the annualized risk of death due to heart disease.
