Dont give your baby , processed meat
Want to know why, kindly read the article.
Based on a large number of observational scientific studies and numerous position papers,it has been suggested that a high consumption of meat and processed meatproducts has an adverse effect on human health. These findings have ledadvocacy groups around the world to recommend that the general populationreduce the consumption of processed meats and meat products, with the overallgoal of reducing the risk of disease, especially cancer.
Processed meat has been considered the leading cause of cancer in most countries. In the(NCBI) study, it was observed that the consumption of processed meat could beinvolved in the Etiology of colorectal cancer, one of the leading causes ofdeath in western countries.

Several hypotheses present in the research paper, which are primarily based on studiesperformed on red meat, may explain why eating processed meat is linked tocancer risk. What has been tested experimentally is
(i) that high-fat diets might promote carcinogenesis through insulinresistance or faecal bile acids;
(ii) cooking meat at high temperatures forms carcinogenicheterocyclic amines and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons;
(iii) carcinogenic N-nitrosocompounds are formed in meat and endogenous;
(iv) heme iron from red meat canpromote carcinogenesis because it increases cell proliferation in the mucosa,by lipoperoxidation and/or cytotoxicity of faecal waters.
A research paper study (Suril S Mehta) notedthat higher daily consumption of processed meats and consumption ofgrilled/barbecued red meat products were associated with an increased risk ofcolorectal cancer in American women.
