Bacteria involved in causing and treating cancers. Cancer bacteria are bacteria infectious organisms that are known or suspected to cause cancer. [1] While cancer-associated bacteria have long been considered to be opportunistic (i.e., infecting healthy tissues after cancer has already established itself), there is some evidence that bacteria may be directly carcinogenic.
Fermented meat is an important preservation process which has evolved for meat but is rarely used alone. [1]: 39 [2]: 3 A particularly common form of fermented meat product is the sausage, with notable examples including chorizo, salami, sucuk, pepperoni, nem chua, som moo, and saucisson.
The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), a specialized agency of the World Health Organization (WHO), classified processed meat (e.g., bacon, ham, hot dogs, sausages) as, "carcinogenic to humans (Group 1), based on sufficient evidence in humans that the consumption of processed meat causes colorectal cancer."
Examples of processed meat include hot dogs, ham, sausages, corned beef and beef jerky. ... pork, lamb, mutton, horse and goat — is “probably carcinogenic to humans.” ...
The World Health Organization reports these foods could be as dangerous as cigarettes.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) has issued a high-risk recall for approximately 7,485 pounds of raw Italian pork sausage products produced by ...
Bacteria, including Lactobacillus species and Leuconostoc species, break down these sugars to produce lactic acid, which not only affects the flavor of the sausage, but also lowers the pH from 6.0 to 4.5–5.0, preventing the growth of bacteria that could spoil the sausage. These effects are magnified during the drying process, as the salt and ...
On October 26, 2015, the International Agency for Research on Cancer of the World Health Organization reported that eating processed meat (e.g., bacon, ham, hot dogs, sausages) or red meat was linked to some cancers and classed them as Group 1 (carcinogenic to humans) and Group 2a (probably carcinogenic to humans) carcinogens respectively.
