Processed

A study has found a link between higher consumption of ultra-processed foods and the risk of developing some cancers. However, they found that obesity, often caused by eating too much of these foods, was not a large contributing factor.

Researchers are calling for the ban of nitrite-cured meat after a new study found a substantial link with cancer. The study saw mice fed nitrite-cured meat develop significantly more tumors than animals fed either nitrate-free meat or no meat at all.
