RAISING THE STEAKS

How do you prefer your meat – chopped or ground to a paste?

Your choice could make all the difference between life and death. Because studies suggest that highly processed meats could lead to cancer of the pancreas. Of 190,000 people, those who reported eating the largest quantities of hot dog, sausages and other processed meats had the highest rates of pancreatic cancer. The blame may lie with carcinogens that develop during processing or cooking, rather than with the meats’ high fat and cholesterol contents, says study author Ute Nothing, PhD. Lower your risk by buying, cooking and eating meat in whole pieces – chunks from a single animal.
