Processed meat is generally pork or beef, though it may also contain poultry.<\/p>\n<p>Davis said the strongest data in the study is the potential for colorectal cancer.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe important take away from it is that we now have this link, but the study doesn\u2019t provide us with data about how much is too much; how much is ok? It doesn\u2019t give us any guidelines about dietary recommendations,\u2019\u2019 Davis said.<\/p>\n<p>She points out that the study reinforces what physicians have been saying for years about eating a balanced diet.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA well-balanced diet; a diet in which moderation is the key,\u2019\u2019 Davis said. \u201cThere\u2019s always been a suspicion that red meats and processed meats have been linked to cancer cause. And I think this has just given us more data to support that. It\u2019s given us more confirmation about what we\u2019ve always suspected.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Davis said there is no reason to be frightened by the WHO\u2019s finding. She said it reinforces the need for colorectal screening.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAll adults, age 50 and above, should have colorectal screening. I think that\u2019s the biggest takeaway from today because we all eat red meat, and we all eat processed meats to certain degrees,\u2019\u2019 Davis said.<\/p>\n<p>She said that the study places processed meats and red meat in the same category as alcohol and tobacco.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think the degree with which we see those carcinogens linked to cancer is much greater than what we see with meat. I do think it goes back to all of the information that we have today \u2013 that moderation really is the key.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n<p>The University of Colorado Cancer Center in Denver is one of 45 elite Comprehensive Cancer Centers in the entire country.
