Processed meats include sandwich and canned meats. Processed meats often contain nitrites and nitrates which are known risk factors for colon cancer. If you choose to consume these meats read the ingredient labels and try to find preservative free (nitrate and nitrite free) meats. It’s healthier to use whole meats cooked at home and sliced for your sandwich.

The fats in red meat stimulate the production of inflammation chemicals in your body. The inflammation chemicals stimulate the growth of most cancers. Red meat sources include beef and swine. Healthier choices of red meat include free range sources.

Sugars in red meat increase the risk of several cancers.

Beer and distilled drinks appear to increase the risk of colon cancer to a greater extent than other alcoholic drinks.[1] Beer causes a higher rate of colorectal cancer than wine. Consuming more than 30 gm of alcohol each day appears to increase the risk of colorectal cancer.[2]
