London - The consumption of processed meat increases the chance of cancer. The warning came in a report released on Monday, 26, the International Agency for Cancer Research, a body linked to the World Health Organization (WHO). According to the study, the consumption of 50 grams of processed meat daily increases the risk of cancer of the large intestine and rectum by 18%.
The study cites that "processed meat was classified as a carcinogen based on sufficient evidence in humans that consumption causes colorectal cancer." Colorectal cancer reaches a segment of the large intestine, the colon, and rectum.
The study also cites red meat as "probably carcinogenic based on limited evidence." The study cites a carcinogenic effect of red meat on cases of colorectal cancer, pancreas and prostate.
"For individuals, the risk of developing colorectal cancer because of processed meat consumption remains small, but the risk increases with the amount of meat consumed," says the head of the entity's monographs program, Kurt Straif, in a statement distributed to press. "Given the large number of people who consume processed meat, the overall impact on the incidence of cancer is of importance to public health."
The research was carried out by a study group of 22 experts from ten countries. According to the entity linked to the WHO, the survey used more than 800 studies that investigated the association of more than a dozen types of cancer with the consumption of red meat and processed in several countries.
