“And a cancer hazard is different than a risk. It’s asking could something ever pose a hazard at some level over some circumstance. That means if you ate lots and lots of it or were exposed to it on some continuous level. It’s not calculating your actual risk of making meat products part of a balanced diet," Riley says.
Riley says the World Health Organization needs to give more context to the findings in this study. She adds one of the USDA panelists was part of a previous study that found inadequate evidence to link meat to cancer. |
