There is strong evidence that there is “no safe amount” of processed meat to eat, nutrition experts say in response to a new study on the connection between diet and the risk of major diseases: cnn.it/4lElYWx

long story short, there’s no scientific consensus as to what “processed” means, it’s a stupid category for diet research and people should stop using it and/or reporting on it because it has no validity or reliability maintenancephase.buzzsprout.com/1411126/epis...

THANK YOU! God I hate that term when talking about food.

Is jamón or prosciutto processed? Smoked salmon? Ground beef? Did the authors run a control between processed and unprocessed of the same foods? (This new paper is a metastudy so they didn’t do any research themselves, but you get the idea)
