Processed meats make global news once again. A new study published in the journal, BMC Medicine, concluded that diets that are high in processed meats would increase the risk of heart attack and stroke.

1. What are processed meats?
Not all meat is bad. Any meat
that has anything done to it to
extend its shelf life, or to
change its colour or taste, or
to make it more palatable in
any way is considered
processed.
The methods used for
processing meats include
preserving, canning, freezing,
refrigeration, and dehydration.
Many processed meats are
made with unhealthy nitrates,
nitrites, trans-fats, saturated
fats and large amounts of
sodium and sugar.
By far, the most common
form of processing is salting
or curing.
