Tymczasem czytam, że:
"Parents should not give their children ham sandwiches in their packed lunches, a charity has warned".
Ciekaw jestem jak zareagowaliby polscy rodzice, gdybyśmy zaczęli alarmować, że to, co wkładają dzieciom do kanapek, ta cudowna szyneczka na przykład, może być be. Tymczasem:
"Youngsters need to get into the habit of avoiding processed meats like ham, salami, hot dogs and bacon, it said. According to the World Cancer Research Fund (WCRF), there was "convincing evidence" that eating processed meat increases the risk of bowel cancer.
While there is no specific research on eating the meats in childhood, the charity said the evidence in adults was too strong to ignore. Children should therefore adopt a healthy eating pattern from the age of five and avoid processed meat. Marni Craze, children's education manager for the WCRF, said: "If children have processed meat in their lunch every day then over the course of a school year they will be eating quite a lot of it. (...)
"It is better if children learn to view processed meat as an occasional treat if it is eaten at all." The WCRF is also urging parents to avoid lunchbox fillers that are high in fat and calories.
Scientists estimate about 3,700 bowel cancer cases could be prevented each year in the UK if everyone ate less than 70g of processed meat a week, which is roughly the equivalent of three rashers of bacon. As well as avoiding processed meat, the WCRF also recommends limiting intake of red meat to 500g (cooked weight) per week. A recent survey showed that two thirds of people in Britain were unaware that eating processed meat increases the risk of cancer".
Nie mówię, że WCRF zaleca weganizm, tak sobie tylko myślę, z jaką reakcją spotkałoby się to u nas.
