Bowel cancer: One of the nation’s favourite sandwich ingredients may hike your risk by 32%

The Daily Express: Bowel cancer is one of the most common types of cancer diagnosed in the UK. Numerous studies have drawn a link between specific dietary components and an increased risk of cancer. One of the nation’s favourite sandwich ingredients has been implicated in a large study.

Successive studies over the years have linked red and processed meat – which includes the British staple bacon – to bowel cancer. But one of the most notable was published in the International Journal of Epidemiology. The study looked at whether people who eat an average of 76 grams of processed and red meat a day – approximately three slices of ham – are still at increased risk of bowel cancer.
