So it's linked to the increased risk of several cancers, but it especially drives that risk of colorectal cancer.

I mean, this has been a lot of stuff, right?

So this is pepperoni.

This is sausage.

This is bacon.

This is even chicken nuggets.

This is lunch meat.

You are out for the charcuterie board.

You know, let's have an honest conversation.

So what I share with people is how much of this are you going to consume?

And you're in this social gathering, you may have a piece, what, once or twice a month?

That's just not enough to hurt you.

The body is resilient, but if someone's having it every day, that's when it adds up.

you gotta live.

And if you love having some of that charcuterie, and we certainly know in the Mediterranean countries, and I think a Mediterranean diet can be very healthy, if that's what you do, just because I don't do it, doesn't mean that I think that it's gonna kill you.

But what I'm here to say is, yes, processed food is considered a carcinogen.

So are cigarettes.

If you smoked one cigarette four times a year, that's also probably not gonna cause cancer.

But that would sound ridiculous as a doctor if I said, go and have a cigarette once in a while.

But why do we frown down so much if I say, yeah, you should avoid processed meat?
