UK scientists urge ban on nitrites in processed meats, linking them to 50,000+ bowel cancer cases and £3B in NHS costs.
Scientists are urging the UK government to ban nitrites in processed meats like bacon, citing a link to over 50,000 bowel cancer cases in the past decade and £3 billion in NHS treatment costs.
They argue that successive governments ignored WHO warnings classifying processed meat as a carcinogen, equivalent to tobacco and asbestos.
Experts demand mandatory health warnings, a phase-out of nitrites, and support for nitrite-free alternatives, though the government maintains current evidence does not confirm a definitive cancer link.
