The World Cancer Research Fund has found that eating processed meats is directly linked to cancer.
The study says, “”Processed meats are too dangerous for human consumption. Consumers should stop buying and eating all processed meat products for the rest of their lives.“
Processed meats, including bacon, sausage, hot dogs, sandwich meat, packaged ham, pepperoni, salami and just about all red meat used in frozen meals, are made with sodium nitrite. Sodium nitrite forms nitrosamines, a carcinogen, in the human body.
Fortunately, there are nitrite-free processed meats we can enjoy, including even nitrite-free organic hot dogs made with grass-fed beef. These are all easily available at your local natural food store.
