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).

Bacon is worth cancer.

I was worried then I read the WHO was involved.

[Georgia Girl 2]

If that was true everyone in the 1800’s would have died from cancer because that’s all they ate. Beans and bacon, ham and sausage.

...this study brought to you by Beyond Meat.

[DeplorablePaul]

Reminds me of Clark Griswold’s boss:

Layman’s terms. None of that inside bullshit jargon nobody understands.

Yes, sir.

[Sirius Lee]

Or...live to 100 and be miserable your whole life.

Gimme bacon, or give me death 50 pathetic and pitiable years from now.

[central_va]

I think the bacon and ham were uncured.

[Jane Long]

Not to mention ... most commercially processed pigs have been receiving the SEQUIVITY mNRA vaccine, since 2018.

Double No thanks!

"World Health Organization"

That has the same effect that the word 'but' does in the rules for English.

[Whatever Works]

Tired of their definitive studies. I don’t believe a lot of “science” these days.

Everybody has been bought.

And ... Bacon!

[ConservativeMind]

We find Wegman’s to always be an enjoyable shopping visit.

[Jane Long]

🙃

Ummm...they weren’t commercially processed/chemically cured and jabbed with mNRA back then.

[Leaning Right]

If this story is true, then some company needs to step up and process meats without using all those chemicals. Maybe like the Amish do it.

Sure, those meats would be more expensive. But I’m sure there’d be a market for it.

[SisterK]

I used to raise and butcher my own hogs.
You can absolutely cure pork naturally.

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

Real pizza wouldn't have pepperoni, as pepperoni originated in the USA. I just got back from Italy and had to laugh when I saw a ham and pineapple pizza. Yes, in Italy! I didn't eat there...

I don't give a f***. I will never stop eating any of them - in fact I'm going to air-fry some pepperoni slices right now and eat them.

[Diana in Wisconsin]

We raise our own beef and buy a hog from the next farm over. We are considering meat chickens. Hard!

If I’m going to die, I’m going down swingin’, LOL!

[central_va]

Smoke a cigar while you are doing that!!

Who funded the study, CAIR? They seem to have exclusively targeted pork products.
