Stop Adding Cancer-Causing Chemicals to Meat
A coalition of experts and politicians in the United Kingdom are warning that the meat industry will gain the murderous reputation of the tobacco industry
if it doesn’t stop adding cancer-causing nitrites to meats like bacon and ham.
According to food scientist Professor Chris Elliott, and cardiologist Dr. Aseem Malhotra,
the coalition has reached a “consensus of scientific opinion” that nitrites, used to cure meat, produce carcinogens called nitrosamines when ingested.
Nitrites are the chemicals that give processed meats their pink color.
The coalition further claims that nitrites in meat cause 6,600 cases of bowel cancer in the UK each year – 4 times the number of deaths caused by vehicle accidents, They are campaigning for the government to give the chemicals the same health priority as sugar.

Every weekday, Ibrahim wakes up at six in the morning. By eight he is usually bent over a smoking fire, burning the insulation from copper wires, as he has done for the last eight years. Ibrahim is working as a “burner boy” – the name given to the young boys and men who trawl through piles of electronic waste in Agbogbloshie, a vast dump near the centre of Ghana’s capital, Accra, looking for circuit boards and wires to burn.
The abandoned phones, computers, and home appliances stretch across 20 acres in the scrapyard that neighbours the slum Ibrahim lives in, separated by the Odaw River. The Old Fadama slum has been home to poor Ghanaians from the rural regions of the country since the 1980s. What the government sees as a blight of poor sanitation, crime and poverty, the migrants see as an affordable access point to the economic opportunities the capital has to offer.
