Channel: NutritionFacts.org
Date: 2022-04-04

How did the meat industry, government, and cancer organizations respond to the confirmation that processed meat, like bacon, ham, hot dogs, and lunch meat, causes cancer?

So, How Much Cancer Does Processed Meat Cause? (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/how-much-cancer-does-processed-meat-cause). That video is coming up next.

And, it’s not just cancer. For example, see The Effects of Processed Meat on Lung Function (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/the-effects-of-processed-meat-on-lung-function/).

I previously covered Monsanto   and its Roundup pesticide (now owned by Bayer) in:

• GMO Soy and Breast Cancer (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/gmo-soy-and-breast-cancer/)
