Recently, the World Health Organizations International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) has declared that processed meat, such as sausage and bacon, and red meat are foods that pose potential cancer risks, as both have been given high carcinogenic ratings. According to the latest report, processed meat is placed on the Group 1 list as "carcinogenic to humans." Tobacco, asbestos, and diesel fumes are also on the Group 1 list. So we all love bacon, but do we really want to risk our lives for it? #WorldHealthOrganization #Cancer
