The World Health Organization (WHO) says 50g of processed meat a day which is less than two slices of bacon increases the chance of developing colorectal cancer by 18%.
Processed meat is one that has been modified either to extend its shelf life or improve its taste. Chemicals used in processing could be responsible for increasing the risk of cancer.
Bacon, sausages, corned beef, ham are examples of processed meat.
