Eating a lot of processed meats like bacon or sausages is strongly linked to a higher chance of getting serious diseases like cancer, diabetes, and heart problems, and even dying earlier.
Eating processed meats like bacon or sausage is more likely to cause long-term health problems than eating plain red meats like steak, according to health studies.
If you swap out foods like burgers and bacon for things like beans, chicken, or fish, it might help lower your chances of getting sick because these foods work better in your body.
Eating even small amounts of red and processed meats regularly might increase your chances of getting long-term illnesses like heart disease or cancer, according to big reviews of past studies.
