Consider that the majority or processed meats are pork...Why not judge it based on some facts?
If I spend a week or so eat ham or bologna + mussarela sandwich in the breakfast I get various balls under the skin at the nape and behind the ears.So something very bad these products have, but they are very inexpensive and easy to prepare.
Processing meat....jerky and fire pit stuff has been giving humans cancers since the invention of fire. Oh, please stop the madness. I don't want to live to 200 years. No one should.

Is that really true though? I remember a history teacher mentioning that "Americans" started to eat meats three meals a day during World War I or II to boast morale, and once those troops returned home, it was expected and became the norm. I assume that included processed meats, and that you would binge on the fresh meats, and either salt or smoke the rest to make it last a few more days or month, but mostly was a Sunday luxury for those who could afford or reasonably hunt it.
No! The problem is gluten.....every single case of cancer is caused by gluten. I'm surprised WHO overlooked this important fact. https://youtu.be/Oht9AEq1798
You must be referring to transgenic wheat, which has 500% more gluten than the natural wheat.
You need to watch the video. I was being facetious.
"The influence of erythrocytes of different blood groups on the intestinal isoenzyme of alkaline phosphatase (EC 3.1.31.1) was investigated. Binding of the enzyme to erythrocyte membranes was demonstrated by sedimentation experiments, by enzyme electrophoresis, by gel chromatography and immunologically using a modified Coombs technique. We found that red cells of blood group A bind almost all intestinal alkaline phosphatase; erythrocytes of blood group B or O to a much lesser degree. This is in accordance with the fact that intestinal alkaline phosphatase is found more frequently in the serum of individuals of blood group O or B than in serum of persons of blood group A. We conclude that underlying the described blood group dependent differences in synthesis of intestinal alkaline phosphatase lies a mechanism involved in the regulation of the activity of intestinal alkaline phosphatase in human serum."By the time I understand what that gobbledygook means I'll be dead.

Here's my take - first of all - eating a lot of processed meat increases your chances of getting cancer. I'm fairly sure it's the chemicals (nitrates, nitrites, etc.) that could possibly increase your chances.If you're eating a lot of processed meats, just cut back on it. I seriously doubt that people who eat fresh, unprocessed, organic meats have an increased chance of getting cancer.We live in a modern society where we have an abundance of fairly fresh, properly taken care of foods available to us, that given you eat little if no processed foods along with an active, relatively stress-free lifestyle, your chances of getting cancer is pretty small.This study is something to be aware of but not to be worried about.
