I purchase nitrite-free deli ham for my daughter and i occasionally feed her those. are these still considered a carcinogen? i am scared!

The WHO advisory...: on red/processed meats does not represent any new discoveries. We've known for decades that these are associated with slightly higher colon cancer rates. What's more important is to have a well balanced diet. Sugary foods and excess carbs are a bigger threat to our health due to the obesity and diabetes epidemic. Don't overdo the red/processed meat and follow colon CA screening guidelines.
