The Claim
A 50g/day increase in processed meat consumption is associated with an 8%-72% higher risk of multiple cancer outcomes, as determined by dose-response analyses from meta-analyses.
What the research says
Supports is higher
Support is ahead, but a single strong opposing study can change this.
These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.
Eating more processed meat, like bacon or sausages, might raise your chances of getting different types of cancer. For every extra 50 grams you eat each day, the risk could go up by a lot—anywhere from 8% to 72%.
