Meat has become the new tobacco, processed meat and red meat as carcinogens. For every 100 gram of bacon you consume, you increase your colorectal cancer risk by 17%. So you know, like back, I'm talking about like 30-40 years ago, you know, when tobacco was something which was pretty common, it was like you are treating a patient with cancer from tobacco, but then you see the the physician performing the surgery is smoking. So that campaign removing tobacco from hospitals and from physicians the cigarettes got they banned the use of tobacco in the healthcare system and this was good because tobacco was accusative was causing cancers and so does the meat. Now, because we know that American Institute of Cancer Research and World Health Organization and American Cancer Research Fund, they all have identified processed meat and red meat as carcinogens. World Health Organization has clearly indicated that processed meat are definitely carcinogens, while red meat is a probable carcinogen. So we know that the research is there and we know that for every 100 gram of bacon you consume, you increase your colorectal cancer risk by 17%. So that's huge. And So what we are understanding and what the studies and the research suggest that meat has become the new tobacco and we should eliminate it from hospitals, from cafeterias, from public places, from hotels, from our menu completely so that we don't lose lives when we clearly know from big organizations, well reputed organizations like World Health Organizations, that it is a carcinogen. And if you are consuming like as I told you, daily consumption of 100 grams of processed meat can increase your colorectal, colorectal cancer risk by 70%. It's huge. So we should do something to stop it. And that's what we are. We have this, we started this, this campaign.","provider":{"id":"BB18SBt9","name":"The Times of India","companyLegalName":"Times Internet
