World Health Organization: Processed Meat Caused Cancer



I read the web site which name is The Hulling Post at last English class. I found one article about meats causing cancer. Now, this news also became a big news in Japan. So in this blog post, I would like to write about this problem.






At first, I will write this news’s summery.

According to WHO, meats like bacon, sausage and other cured and processed meats have a possibility of becoming a bowel cancer. The agency also say that meats are directly connected. But fifty gram portion of processed meats eaten daily will increase the risk of becoming a cancer. Fifty gram meats are equal to three slice of cooked bacon.

Adding to cured and processed meats, red meats have includes which are often in weed-killers. These two findings are based on 800 studies. However, meat industry group claim that meats are the part of a balanced diet and these studies should expand to lifestyle.


Then, I would like to write about a comparison of English article and Japanese article.

The article which is written by English mainly reported the danger of eating meats. Moreover it seems that WHO also don’t recommend to eat meats. Therefore, I suppose that readers of this article may feel uneasy. However contrast to English version, Japanese version says that not only the danger of eating meats but also the importance of eating them.

I really surprised this, because I guessed that the contents of articles are the same in any languages.

From this fact, I think that this article which is written by English have only one direction of opinion, so I may be able to say that this article isn’t tell the truth.


Finally, I would like to write my opinion about this article.

I have two opinions.

When I read this article first, I was really surprised, because I like meats such as bacons and often eat more than three slice of this. Of course, I think that it is not good to overreact to this issue. As the article says, rising possibility of becoming a cancer is only happen when you eat meats too many. Therefore, I think that we should not too care about this issue. Rather, keeping a good lifestyle is more important for us to live vividly long.

Second, I think that meats industries should pay attention consumers health. From this article, these industries only advocated the need of meats. However they don’t care the investigation at all, so it seems that they only pursuit their profit. It is not good for their company image.
