Risk of Colorectal Cancer with the Consumption of Processed Meat Hampers Market Growth

A study published by the World Health Organization (WHO)’s International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) found the molecular mechanism in processed meat that underlie the carcinogenicity of processed meat, which can increase the risk of colorectal cancer in humans. Taking into consideration the potential risks of processed meat consumption, the American Cancer Society recommends limiting processed meat in the American Cancer Society Guidelines on Nutrition and Physical Activity for Cancer Prevention. Increasing prevalence of lifestyle diseases, including cancer, is encouraging consumers to modify their lifestyle and dietary habits.
