Safari:
Wooooot! woooot!! Doctor you say?
Doctor:
Yes you heard that right.
Processed meat causes cancer!!! Flee or reduce your intake.
The evidence is so strong that Tobacco (cigarettes or shisha) are in the same category as processed meats
Safari:
Does this mean that processed meat is as dangerous as Tobacco?
Doctor:
No, it just means that the scientific evidence that it causes cancer is strong.
Red meat was placed in Group 2A
Safari:
But doctor i like suya and hot dog.
Does this mean i should stop eating meat?
Doctor:
Cut down your intake of processed meats, or stop altogether
Some of these meats contain chemicals during processing like N-nitroso compounds
Suya is not safe either as the burning can form polyaromatic hydrocarbons which is harmful
Safari:
Okay so now doctor, if i stop eating all this Mentioned above, what then should i be eating ?
Doctor:
Eat health, Eat Natural food,Eat non processed food,if you must eat a little. And hey don't forget to fast sometimes..
Safari:
Thank you doctor for your time.
