    Processed Meat ‘Linked to Breast Cancer’

    By Magic 103.7 on October 3, 2018 News

    Regularly eating foods like bacon and sausages may raise the risk of breast cancer, according to researchers.

    A review of studies found women who ate high levels of processed meat had a 9% increased risk of the cancer compared with those who ate little of it.

    The study backs up previous findings of the World Health Organization, which says processed meats cause cancer.

    Experts recommend caution about the findings and say the actual risk for individual women is “very small”.

    This review, which included data on more than a million women, shows a link between processed meat consumption and breast cancer risk, but it’s not clear if the food is actually causing this.

    There are also other pitfalls to consider.

    The 15 studies used in the analysis had different definitions of the highest consumptions.

    For example, one of the UK studies in the review classed high consumption as more than 9g a day – the equivalent of just two or three rashers a week – while in others it was much higher.

    The researchers in the majority of these studies noted what people said they ate and followed them up to see which of them developed breast cancer.

    But the problem with this is that people who eat different amounts of processed meat may also have other behaviours that might explain the differences in breast cancer risk, such as being more or less healthy in other ways.
