Risks of Eating Processed Meats

Host Richard Hentschel discussed the recent World health organization release on the potential risks of eating red meat and other processed meats with Dru Banks, Health and Nutrition Educator. Cured and smoked meats are a concern as are the many choices of red meats. Poultry is not included in this release. While no official guidelines on consumption was supplied, it is clear that the more red meats and processed meats are consumed the greater the risk of certain cancers.
