Colon cancer killed my uncle, so I guess this is personal, but come on--processed meat is disgusting. And the problem is that most people have no idea that it raises your cancer risk. I looked at the American Institute for Cancer Research report about this, and I found it pretty persuasive. Dozens of experts from all over the world looked at major published studies on diet and cancer risk. They crunched the numbers and concluded that processed meats like hot dogs put you at higher risk of colon and rectal cancer. Labels make sense: Consumers deserve to know that hot dogs could put you in the hospital.
