Yup me too. I will still eat processed meat too. Bacon, Sausages, Ham. I am not going to stop eating them but now we know more about any possible heath effects from it and can decide for ourselves.
This kind of information would be especially useful for people with a family history of these cancers who may decide to cut it off entirely as they already have an increased risk. The actual study might go into more depth on that.
I don't see the harm in people knowing more about the food we eat and the resistance today to the announcement as if the WHO have decided to do this just to spite bacon lovers.
