- One extra serving of processed meat a day linked to higher cancer risk
A study by the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition (EPIC) found that eating an additional 30 grams of processed meat daily increases the risk of stomach cancer by 9% and esophageal adenocarcinoma by 13%. The study tracked 450,112 people across Europe for 14 years, revealing gender-specific differences in cancer risk linked to processed meat and white meat consumption.
