New Research Confirms Not All Meat Poses The Same Health Risk
The WHO or World Health Organization, has previously declared that all processed meat is considered as a Group 1 carcinogen, declaring these food items to all be potentially cancer-causing food items according to their authority and guidelines.
But that belief that all processed meats cause cancer continues to be challenged in the scientific community and beyond.
The truth might be that not all processed meats are going to pose the same health risks, and it is one view that has recently been confirmed by researchers from Queen's University Belfast.
Their investigation into processed meats discovered that those meat items with nitrites were found to have a higher likelihood of promoting cancer. They discovered that nitrite-free processed meats didn't pose the same risk, and were associated with lower cancer risk overall.
They took a look at all of the English-language studies that had investigated the link between the consumption of processed meat and cancer risk and found that the scientific results overall were inconclusive.
When they isolated the studies which included testing for meat products that contained sodium nitrite, they saw a link with colorectal cancer jump to 65 percent, almost two-thirds of the studies had found a link, suggesting that nitrites could easily be contributing a great deal to the problem.
Just because the WHO makes a stance on a certain topic, like processed meats, doesn't mean that they might even be right on the subject. Health authorities have been wrong before and they will be wrong again.
Now, the tide is turning and we are seeing many people, along with healthcare professionals and others etc, embrace healthy fats, saturated fat, meat consumption. As a result, researchers have challenged the WHO and others on their stance regarding processed meats and saturated fats, among other things. They are starting to push back against the heavily regurgitated myths that we bought into for so long, though now we find upon further investigation were not based on much substance to begin with.

I doubt if any processed meat is healthy for you. I personally believe that man can never improve on the natural or God made. Thanks for sharing
You probably brush your teeth and visit a dentist, so you do appear to believe man can improve on nature. It's not natural to brush teeth or visit a dentist - those are very recent human behaviours and technologies in the grand scheme of things. Many things you do aren't natural, but that doesn't mean they're unhealthy or bad, necessarily.
Speaking of natural and meat, if you season your meat, that's not natural. If you cook it, that's not natural. If you didn't hunt and kill it yourself, that's not natural. Just about nothing about your "meat" is natural today.
It may be that red meat actually doesn't cause cancer at all, who knows? But one thing we're 100% certain of is that it comes from often very sentient beings, and contains nothing that humans require nutritionally. So if steak and hamburger IS healthy for humans to eat, great, but it's still unnecessary and causes suffering to intelligent creatures that don't want us to kill them.
Final Solution = kill all the vegans.
