VOICED : OMS consumo excesivo de carnes aumenta riesgo de cancer

The World Health Organization (WHO) has issued a report warning about the increased cancer risk associated with excessive consumption of processed meats, placing them in Group 1 of cancer risks, alongside tobacco and asbestos. Red meats are classified as probably carcinogenic in Group 2. The report is based on scientific literature reviewed by experts from 10 countries. However, the North American Meat Institute criticized the report, arguing that cancer is a complex disease not caused by simple foods. WHO clarifies that while red meat is not established as a cancer cause, it could be linked to 50,000 cancer deaths worldwide, contrasting with higher death rates from smoking, alcohol, and air pollution.
