Men in the UK ignore processed meat risk

A new research has suggested that men eat almost twice as much processed meat as women but are less likely to know it can cause cancer. According to a poll for the World Cancer Research Fund (WCRF), only 36% from men know the link between cancer and processed food. They are largely ignorant that foods such as bacon, ham, salami and some sausages can increase the risk of bowel cancer. Two rashers of bacon a day throughout life has been linked to a 20% rise in the chance of getting the disease.
