Sausages, ham, bacon and other processed meats increase the risk of dying young, shows a study of half a million people for nearly 13 years. It says diets high in processed meats were linked to heart diseases, cancers and early deaths, reports the journal RMC Medicine.
The salt and chemicals used to preserve the meat are damaging health. Processed meat refers to meat that has been preserved by smoking, curing, salting or adding preservatives, such as ham, bacon, pastrami and salami, as well as hot dogs and some sausages. Hamburgers and minced meats count as processed meat only if preserved with salt or chemical additives.
