Red meat is associated with an increased risk of cancer of the colon and rectum, and other cancers such as prostate cancer and pancreatic cancer.
Processed meats (including chicken and fish), such as those that have been preserved by smoking, salting, curing, or with chemical preservatives, are associated with colorectal cancer and stomach cancer.
As part of its cancer prevention recommendations, the Third Expert Report from World Cancer Research Fund and the American Institute for Cancer Research recommends eating no more than moderate amounts of red meat, such as beef, pork, and lamb, and eating little, if any, processed meat.
