Too Much Processed Meat
Processed meat is meat that has been preserved by curing, salting, smoking, drying or canning. Sadly, 8.2% of all diet-related deaths that were studied were caused by eating too much-processed meat. Food products classified as processed meat include:
- Sausages, hot dogs, salami.
- Ham, cured bacon.
- Salted and cured meat, corned beef.
- Smoked meat.
- Dried meat, beef jerky.
- Canned meat.
Cold cuts, sausage, bacon, and hot dogs are examples of processed meats, which are preserved by smoking, curing, salting, or adding preservatives, according to the American Heart Association. According to Alicja Wolk, D.M.SC., professor in the Institute of Environmental Medicine's Division of Nutritional Epidemiology, processed meat additives like sodium, nitrates, and phosphates are to blame for consumers' increased risk of heart failure.
