Processed meat ‘linked to breast cancer’

Regularly eating foods like bacon and sausages may raise the risk of breast cancer, according to researchers.

A review of studies found women who ate high levels of processed meat had a 9 percent increased risk of the cancer compared with those who ate little of it.

The study backs up previous findings of the World Health Organisation, which says processed meats cause cancer.
