Processed meat 'linked to pancreatic cancer'
www.gdaguru.com today reports that a link between eating processed meat, such as bacon or sausages, and pancreatic cancer has been suggested by researchers in Sweden. 13-01-2012
They said eating an extra 50g of processed meat, approximately one sausage, every day would increase a person's risk by 19%. But the chance of developing the rare cancer remains low. The World Cancer Research Fund suggested the link may be down to obesity. Dr Rachel Thompson, the fund's deputy head of science, said:
"There is strong evidence that being overweight or obese increases the risk of pancreatic cancer and this study may be an early indication of another factor behind the disease.” "Regardless of this latest research, we have already established a strong link between eating red and processed meat and your chances of developing bowel cancer, which is why WCRF recommends limiting intake of red meat to 500g cooked weight a week and avoid processed meat altogether."
