Processed Meat Should Be Sliced From Children’s Menus, Anti-Cancer Charity Warns

August 17, 2009: 09:18 AM EST
A global network of charities whose goal is to prevent cancer with a healthy diet and physical activity has issued a warning to parents to eliminate processed meats like ham and salami from the lunch boxes of school children because of the future risk of bowel cancer. The World Cancer Research Fund suggests substituting poultry or fish, low-fat cheese, hummus, or lean meat. The group also recommends avoiding sugary drinks and high-calorie snacks from kids’ diets to avoid health problems associated with obesity, a growing problem in the U.K. and around the world.
