Ingredients Used In Meat Processing Increases Bladder Cancer Risk

This should come as a surprise to no one who knows our food supply. An eight-year study from the National Institutes of Health and American Association for Retired Persons has yielded results that suggest that components used in meat processing, including nitrites, can increase the risk of bladder cancer.
The researchers followed about 300,000 individuals and monitored their dietary intake and any development of bladder cancer. The results showed that people whose diets had the highest amount of total dietary nitrite (from sources other than meat), as well as those whose diets had the highest amount of nitrates plus nitrite from processed meats had a 28% to 29% increased risk of developing bladder cancer, compared with those who consumed the lowest amount of the compounds.
More proof that our food processing harms. Will anything be done about it? We hope so, but we doubt it. These food companies own our government. Thank god for studies.
