      They’re high is protein, iron, zinc, and b12. Good in moderation, like most things.

        Not according to latest studies, there is no safe level of processed meat consumption.

        Cold cuts are often processed, rather than delivered raw.

        Secondary News Article: https://www.sciencealert.com/massive-review-finds-no-safe-level-of-processed-meat-consumption

        Original Study: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41591-025-03775-8

        consuming processed meat (at 0.6–57 g d−1) was associated with at least an 11% average increase in type 2 diabetes risk and a 7% (at 0.78–55 g d−1) increase in colorectal cancer risk.

        So eating a gram of processed meat per day would significantly increase chances of type 2 diabetes, and colorectal cancer.

        1 gram ≃ 0.03 ounces (British imperial units)

            Fruit, vegetables, whole grains, exercise, some sunlight, some socialisation, an easy creative hobby.

            You’re right, it is easier to list those things.

              Fruit contains fructose.

              Edit: Forgot veggies. Not tgat it matters much, cause they are also somewhat impervious to accusation. Best I can say is that lot of them contain sugars, but that’s weak on it’s own. And lead, but that’s mostly roadside ones xD

              Sunlight literally birns your skin, even in small amounts.

              Dunno about whole grains.

              Exercise is literally damaging your body to rebuild it - done even slightly wrong can lead to long lasting problems.

              Socialisation can easily turn into shunning, shaming and other mentally devastating actions over which you have no control whatsoever.

              Easy creative hobbies…are a money drain. But that’s not unhealthy so your point xD
