A landmark report regarding effects eating processed meat was released by researchers from BMC Medicine this week. The period that the research covers and the sample size make this report difficult to ignore. | |||

These were healthy subjects with no history of cardiovascular disease, stroke or cancer. Over the period of the study, '''1 person in every 17 died'''. Those eating more than 160 grams of processed meat a day (''only 2 sausages and 1 slice of bacon'') were 44% more likely to die than those eating 20 grams a day. The causes of death were cancer (10,000) and heart disease (5,500). | ||

There was no similar risk associated with red meat or white meat. | ||

Processed meats have a much higher content of saturated fat and [[cholesterol]] than red meat. The curing process to enhance shelf life, flavour and colour is also likely to introduce carcinogens (polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, heterocyclic aromatic amines, nitrosamines) and substances which may enhance cancer development such as nitrites. | Processed meats have a much higher content of [[saturated fat]] and [[cholesterol]] than red meat.

Research has shown that eating processed meat might make asthma symptoms worse. | |||
Consuming more than four portions a week is a risk, suggests the study of nearly 1,000 French people, published in the journal Thorax. | |||
The researchers believe it could be a preservative called nitrite used in meats such as sausages, salami and ham that aggravates the airways. | |||
