Processed meat is classified as “probably carcinogenic” by the WHO. Processed meat includes sausage, bacon, ham, and liver pate.

Today, carcinogenic ham, liver pate, and salami are typical for a standard breakfast. Would anyone offer their children a morning cigarette? You will find offers and advertising on processed meat in grocery stores. Cigarettes carry warning text about the risks you take when smoking. Have you seen salami, ham, or beer sausage with a warning text?

How will we see today’s consumption of processed meat in the future? Do we wonder why the schools didn’t stop serving it to children when the cancer risk was known? Asking how much-processed beef you can eat is like asking how many cigarettes you can smoke.

As humans, we cannot afford to wait for society to outlaw what kills the individual. Act to protect yourself and those you love. When you know about a threat in advance, you can act to minimize the risk. 1+1 = 3. Stop putting things in your mouth that kill you, and start putting things in your mouth that give you longer life.

Effects: After reviewing over 800 reports, WHO’s Cancer Research Institute IARC concluded that processed meat is classified in Group 1 with tobacco smoking and asbestos and is certainly carcinogenic to humans. The Global Burden of Disease Project states that approximately 34,000 cancer deaths per year are due to processed meat.

Processed meat significantly increases the risk of colon and rectal cancer. The risk also increases for cancer of the stomach, pancreas, and prostate. The risk of developing bowel cancer increased by 18% at 50g of processed meat per day.

The study “Estimating the impact of food choices on life expectancy” shows that you live longer if you stop eating processed meat. An example of a longer lifespan with 0 g of processed meat per day for a 20-year-old who consumes 2322 kcal is a woman with +1.57 years and a man with +1.98 years.

Tip: Choose spicy vegetarian sausage and try all vegetarian hamburgers. Dare to discover new taste sensations—season with truffle, saffron, and fresh spices. Replace carpaccio with salmon, swordfish, or tuna. Eat roasted vegetables instead of bacon. Read the label and avoid anything with nitrates, nitrites, cured, smoked, or salted. Replace deli meat with shrimp and squid. Try new protein sources such as cottage cheese, tofu, and hummus.
