Ham causes cancer

NvidiaDan · 17 Aug 2009 at 08:18

The World Cancer Research Fund said parents should act now to stop their children developing a taste for smoked, salted or cured meats.
Eating too much over decades can raise the risk of bowel cancer, they said.
The UK's Food Standards Agency said processed meat was fine for lunchboxes but should not be eaten "too often".
It is only in recent years that the link between processed meats and bowel cancer in adults has been made, with some estimates suggesting that thousands of cases could be prevented if everyone limited intake to 70g a week - equivalent to three rashers of bacon.

TBH a lot of salted smopked and Cured meats from the bucher are the reall deal with out all the **** and water added in.
Lots of them use traditional recipes or cooking styles.

Very true.
I would never buy any meat from a supermarket like Asda\Tesco.
The amount of water in thier(so called) fresh chicken is unbelievable.

everything cause cancer. It's all statistical rubbish and could be caused by almost anything and not the ham.
I hate statistical research like this. It's interesting, but it's not proof.
