Good advice by Dr harold Avoid eating processed meat.

The meat you buy at the butcher is fresh frozen meat brought from the abettor, and eating once in a while causes no problems to your health.

Hot dogs, bacon, sausages, salami ham, corned beef are all processed meats that are harmful and dangerous. These processed meats should be avoided at all times. Several studies have shown that eating processed meats are linked to a variety of health problems like diabetes, heart disease and some types of cancers. You may have heard that eating sausages frequently can cause pancreatic cancer and large bowel cancer.

Eating bacon seems to increase the risk of diabetes and heart disease. Using high salt in the processing may be the culprit. Also, chemicals like nitrates are also used to process meats and may be responsible for the high incidence of diabetes, heart disease and high blood pressure. Moreover, the high fat content in processed meat is bad for your heart.

cup.
