I think it's a wider definition of processed than would normally be used including things like cured and smoked meats. The extra salt is the problem.

Plus it could be to do with people who eat more processed meats also tend to do less cooking and so eat less fresh vegetables than people who eat meat meat.

Compounding factors.

I think the research was something like regular processed meat will increase your chances of a heart attack but regular red meat won't, which is good if you wanted steak every day.

It was more the comment about eating processed meats such as sausages, bacon etc that confused me. Since when is bacon processed? Surely its just sliced up after being smoked or whatever, what could they do to 'process' it?

Cook a slice of crappy cheap bacon and see how much steam comes off it. A lot of that's evaporating water that they've injected in to it. Also look at how much crap is left in the pan afterwards. A lot of that is stuff that they've added to pad it out and make it look bigger.

Cook a quality slice of bacon and see how it compares. The pan will be virtually dry and the steam will be barely noticable.

I thought it was the nitrates used in curing the meat that made bacon & sausages more likely to give you bowel cancer. Doesn't matter what kind of bacon you get - they use nitrates & salt to cure it.

I'm hoping they cure cancer soon cause I'm still eating bacon.
