A Recent article published in the journal “Circulation” shows that those that eat processed meats have a significantly higher risk of developing heart disease and diabetes. The study covered more than one million people from 10 different countries. It was found that eating 2 ounces of processed meat each day resulted in a 42% increase in the risk of heart disease and a 19% increase in the risk of diabetes. The researchers concluded that it is the processed salt and chemical additives in the processed meat that caused the issues. Sodium nitrite is a poison that is in most processed meats used as a color fixer. It makes dead gray meat look red and fleshy. It seems that only those consumers who are ignorant of the true health risks are still buying and eating processed meats like bacon, sausage, and beef jerky.
