Many people may ask “what’s unhealthy about ham or sausage?” Unfortunately, the most popular meat products – ham, sausages or frankfurters – are heavily processed. Their frequent consumption can contribute to many serious diseases such as colon cancer, type 2 diabetes and heart disease.
It is much better to buy meat products from local suppliers, because then there is a better chance that it will be a natural product, without chemical improvers. It is also a good idea to give up cold meat in favour of eating fresh, not fatty meat.
