Cancer risk is raised by consuming 2 strips of bacon a day.

Unless you don’t want to raise your risk of cancer by a fifth, then consider cutting back.

New research by the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm found that eating 1.8 ounces (50 grams) of processed meat a day can increase the risk of pancreatic cancer by 19 percent.
For people consuming 3.5 ounces (100 grams) of processed meat, the increased risk jumps to 38 percent and 57 percent for those eating 5.3 ounces (150 grams) a day.

Processed foods should be avoided in a healthy diet.
