Processed meat linked to cancer
Adrianna Martinez

The World Health Organization has released findings connecting processed meat with causing cancer. The WHO's cancer research unit has conducted hundreds of experiments and discovered consuming 50 grams of processed meat each day can increase the risk of cancer by 18%. However they have stated the risks are relatively small to begin with. WHO stated their findings are important for public health because processed meat is eaten daily. Meat industry groups believe the report is not accurate and is misleading. WHO's findings are very interesting but I don't believe they presented their information right. Although processed meat is not the best choice,there are other factors that contribute to cancer not just meat.
