Eating processed meats like hot dogs, sausages or bacon can lead
to bowel cancer in humans and red meat is a likely cause of the
disease, World Health Organisation (WHO) experts said.

The review by the WHO's International Agency for Research on
Cancer (IARC), released on Monday, put processed meat in its
group 1 list, which also includes tobacco and asbestos, for
which there is "sufficient evidence" of cancer links.

Red meat was classified as probably carcinogenic in IARC's group
2A list, to which it has also added this year glyphosate, the
active ingredient in many weedkillers.

Meat industry groups rejected the findings as simplistic,
although some scientists said they may not add much to existing
health recommendations to limit consumption of such meat.

The IARC was carrying out a formal review of meat for the first
time and examined some 800 studies during a meeting of 22 health
experts in France earlier this month.

"For an individual, the risk of developing colorectal (bowel)
cancer because of their consumption of processed meat remains
small, but this risk increases with the amount of meat
consumed," Dr Kurt Straif of the IARC said in a statement.

Each 50 gram portion of processed meat eaten daily increases the
risk of colorectal cancer by 18 percent, the agency estimated.

The classification for red meat - defined as all types of
mammalian meat, including beef, lamb and pork - reflected
"limited evidence" that it causes cancer. The IARC found links
mainly with bowel cancer, but it also observed associations with
pancreatic and prostate cancer.

Inconclusive evidence of a link between processed meat and
stomach cancer was also observed, it said.

The IARC does not compare the level of cancer risk associated
with different substances in a given category, so does not
suggest eating meat is as dangerous as smoking, for example.

But the bracketing of processed meat with products such as
tobacco or arsenic irked industry groups, with the North
American Meat Institute saying the IARC report "defies common
sense".

Suppliers argue that meat provides essential protein, vitamins
and minerals as part of a balanced diet.

"We've known for some time about the probable link between red
and processed meat, and bowel cancer," Professor Tim Key of
Oxford University said in a statement from charity Cancer
Research UK.

"Eating a bacon bap every once in a while isn't going to do much
harm - having a healthy diet is all about moderation."

The IARC, however, said such dietary advice often focused on
heart disease and obesity.

It cited an estimate from the Global Burden of Disease Project -
an international consortium of more than 1,000 researchers -
that 34,000 cancer deaths per year worldwide are attributable to
diets high in processed meat.

This compares with about 1 million cancer deaths per year
globally due to tobacco smoking and 600,000 a year due to
alcohol consumption, it said.

Processed meats can lead to cancer? It just goes to show, we gotta get
us some more of them there gun control laws.
