WHO Says Processed Meat is Carcinogenic
世卫组织称加工肉类致癌
The World Health Organization (WHO) has officially declared that processed meat is definitely a cancer-causing food. Processed meat includes everything from sausages and bacon to salami and ham. According to recent studies, the salting and curing of this type of meat creates cancer-causing chemicals that increase the risk of colon cancer. The World Health Organization also declared that non-processed red meat is probably also cancer-causing, though studies were not as conclusive. Global research suggests that about 34,000 deaths per year are linked to diets that are high in processed meats, while smoking causes about 1 million deaths per year.
世卫组织官方宣布加工肉类为致癌食品。这些包括香肠、培根、萨拉米肉肠以及火腿。根据最新研究表明，腌制以及其它肉类加工品会产生致癌的化学物品，并增加结肠癌风险。世卫组织称虽然研究尚未最终定论，但是没有经过加工的红肉产品也有可能致癌。根据全球研究表明，每年有大约3.4万或死于加工肉制品，而每年因吸烟而死亡的人数为100万人。
