Is bacon carcinogenic?

1/ 4 Is bacon carcinogenic? There is no clear evidence that eating bacon all the year round will cause cancer, but it is undeniable that bacon still has carcinogens, because bacon needs to put a lot of salt when curing to prevent meat from spoilage, and it also needs to be exposed to the sun and dried. Moreover, only manufacturers know whether there are preservatives in the bacon on the market. Pickles in rural areas do not contain preservatives, but small and medium-sized cities may add appropriate preservatives, which will have a great impact on people's health.

On the other hand, bacon is a kind of pickled food, which contains a lot of nitrite. Once ingested in excess, nitrosamines will be produced in the body, which is a strong carcinogen and may cause gastric cancer, cancer and esophageal cancer. Therefore, it is better to eat less bacon, especially the bacon bought in the market. It is difficult to ensure that nitrite and preservatives do not exceed the standard.
