Red meats — like beef, pork, veal, lamb, mutton, and goat — have long been linked to health risks including cardiovascular illness.
Processed meats are even more dubious for health, with a large body of research linking higher risk of mortality and chronic illnesses to eating too much of anything that's been cured, smoked, or salted. That includes bacon, sausage, ham, hot dogs, and deli meats.
They should be taken seriously as a cancer risk, too, according to new cancer-prevention guidelines from the American Cancer Society, which take a stronger stand against red and processed meat than ever before.
The latest recommendations advise against it as much as possible, based on growing evidence that consistently links meat-eating with some of the most common types of cancer worldwide, including colorectal cancer, breast cancer, and prostate cancer.
The ACS guidelines cite extensive evidence linking red meat, and processed meat in particular, to health risks.
One such study from 2009 found that nitrates in processed meats, and heme iron in red meat generally, might cause oxidative damage to DNA. Other, much older research has found that cooking meat on high heat or over open flame appears to produce carcinogens, or cancer-causing compounds.
And a 2015 review of 800 epidemiological studies consistently linked meat with higher risk of cancer, particularly colorectal cancer, leading the researchers to define processed meat as carcinogenic and red meat as "probably carcinogenic to humans."
The strongest evidence links meat consumption with colorectal cancer, the third-most-common type of cancer worldwide. Research has found that relative risk of colorectal cancer increases by 22% with each additional daily serving of red meat and 23% with each additional daily serving of processed meat, according to the ACS.
