If you eat excessive amounts of processed meats, the risk increases by 18% (of 5%), which means the risk is approx. 6% - not a huge increase in the risk factor....

Oh whoopee! A one percent increase in risk. A whole load of ho ha about nothing. 
Whilst I'm not suddenly going to stuff my face with processed meat as some of the stuff is simply revolting ( See How it's made.) The increase in risk is swamped in the statistical noise IMHO.
