Bacon and processed meat
We mentioned that red meat is associated with inflammation and cancer, and this is especially the case in processed red meat. That includes bacon, salami, and many others. They are known to increase the incidence of bowel cancer. According to an epidemiologic study, only eating 3 slices of ham every single day may increase the risk of bowel cancer. That is much less bacon than most of us eat in an American diet, and we can add to that the vegetable oil that is used to cook. So, be careful with your meat choices, and the way you prepare your foods.
