Fast Food Diet: Cold Cuts = Stomach Cancer
Do you remember Al Fresco Chicken Sausages? There are many reasons to stock up on them, one being an absence of any artificial ingredients, namely, nitrites.
In animal models, nitrites have been shown to become potent carcinogens, and now some scientists theorize that they could cause stomach cancer in humans.
“Swedish researchers determined that people who eat, on average, 3 ounces of processed meat daily have a 15 percent greater chance of developing stomach cancer than those who consume 2 ounces or less.”
The usual suspects, which were also used in the study are: hot dogs, bacon, salami, sausage, and ham. [sources: men’s fitness. celebrities-eating]
