The findings come more than a decade after the World Health Organization branded processed meats as Group 1 carcinogens, placing bacon and sausages in the same evidence category as cigarettes, alcohol and asbestos. That ruling followed research showing that eating just two rashers of bacon – around 50g a day – can raise bowel cancer risk by nearly 20 per cent. Red meat was also flagged, but at a lower level, classed as probably cancer-causing. Now, the biggest study yet into meat-free diets and cancer has thrown up a new warning.
