Oh my God! I didn't know until recently that eating much processed meat can produce cancer. Eating sausages, hamburgers and sausages increase the risk of suffering from cancer, according to OMS experts. Experts say that processed meat may have the same effect as smoke snuff, alcohol, plutonium or contaminated air in the health. For me, it is an exaggeration.
ResponderEliminarBut, what is the processed meat? The processed meat is any meat that has been transformed with salt, curing, fermenting, smoked, to enhance flavor and preserve the food. What is the OMS? The OMS (World Health Organization) is the organization responsible to help the society, on issues such as health, hygiene, food, housing...
All in all, I think that eating processed processed meat with moderation isn't bad for health. For example, in my family, we eat meat and fish some days during the week because my mother says that it is boring eating all the days the same type of food. However, we also eat processed meat.
In my opinion all the people should have a balanced diet, like the Mediterranean diet. We must more fruit and vegetables, and less meat!!
