The World Health Organization classifies deli meats like ham, turkey, salami and hot dogs as a Group 1 carcinogens
Here’s the insane part, eating just 2 slices of deli meat a day increase your risk of cancer by 18%
Read that again
The International Agency for Research on Cancer analysis of multiple studies found that 50 grams of processed meat per day (roughly 2 slices of ham or similar deli meat) is associated with an 18% increased relative risk of colorectal cancer
There’s something else you should know about and its nitrates added
“People do not want to have nitrates in their food. So you'll see all of these turkeys say no nitrates or nitrites added. But if you flip it over and you read the label, you'll see celery powder. Celery powder is nitrates, and it actually has a higher concentration of nitrates”
Again, this is true
This is a common labeling loophole. USDA rules allow products cured with celery powder or juice which is naturally high in nitrates to be labeled “no nitrates or nitrites added”
Our food is literally poison
