I verified this and it’s true

“This is a class Group 1 carcinogen. The new study warns there's NO SAFE amount of ham, bacon, or even pepperoni for human consumption”

Processed meats including ham, bacon, pepperoni are now definitively linked to cancer (Group 1), and newer 2025–2026 studies reinforce thee is no “safe” level that exists for regular consumption

“One flimsy cut is lubricated with over 28 bio stabilizers. It's an ammonia-washed paste glued together with synthetic hydrocolloids. That color is then artificially enforced with a corrosive rust inhibitor called sodium nitrite. Group 1 carcinogen that ranks on the same pedestal as a cigarette. Your high-protein sausages were inhumane scanning for plastic residue and inorganic arsenic contamination”

Additional info:

Many processed meats use mechanically separated meat or binders like hydrocolloids (e.g., carrageenan, xanthan gum) for texture, and ammonia treatments occur in some poultry/beef processing (to kill bacteria), it’s not universally in ham/bacon/pepperoni (but it is used)

The study comes from the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), part of the World Health Organization (WHO)

IARC evaluated extensive evidence and classified processed meat (including ham, bacon, pepperoni, hot dogs, sausages, etc.) as Group 1—“carcinogenic to humans.” This is the highest level, based on sufficient evidence that it causes colorectal cancer in humans (with some links to stomach cancer).

Zero credibility.

They lost their credibility with the wuhanic plague ...

Now, oddly enough, they're on a jihad against pork.

Huh ...

There are LOTS of hot dogs that don't have that (e.g. Hebrew National Uncured) and pepperoni (e.g. Wegman's - just got some in one of their Maryland stores last week.

are there not levels of these food items? with cheap hot dogs and Slim Jims on the end of the spectrum they are talking about but with healthier, natural versions of sausages, bacon and such on the other end of the spectrum? I am pretty sure all of these items can be made without nasty ingredients and processes

I’m guessing you aren’t a fan of Hawaiian pizza. I like it, but “real” pizza has pepperoni slices.

You do know that if you write something like that, or post it, you have lost ALL credibility.

Did you know pigs are as smart as dogs? It’s true, I knew this guy in El Capitan who trained his pig to bark at strangers.

So what we have here is “pork is bad“. They’re just softening us up for when they introduce universal Sharia dietary restrictions.
