I read just to the point where it was stated that the same number of bowel cancers were found in Britain among meat eaters as vegetarians, so it is obvious that while some things in processed meats *may* cause cancer, they will not in everyone. I know a hell of a lot more about cancer than I ever wanted to since I have the stuff, and my docs are baffled as to what caused mine. Everyone is different. One guy might never get poison ivy while the guy next to him gets it from dust blowing off a plant and onto his skin. One guy might be suffering from the flu like a dog and the other guy just feels a little run down. There are so many factors into how our bodies react and what we can fight off and what we cannot.
Should we avoid all the foods and beer and candies since they may cause cancer? Well, if your idea of living is to try and hide away from everything that can get you, good luck with that. I eat a healthy diet and I enjoy that, but I still treat myself every now and then to a pizza. I just had two double cheeseburgers at DQ today. Was that a good lunch? Nutritionally speaking, no. Was I scared that I was going to make my cancer stronger by eating burgers? No. If I shortened my life by a few weeks, so be it, but dammit, I wanted some cheeseburgers today!
