Having one or more risk factors doesn’t mean that you will definitely get bowel cancer.
It is very difficult to research the link between diet and cancer but research has found certain foods can definitely affect the risk of bowel cancer.
Many studies have shown that eating lots of red and processed meat increases the risk of bowel cancer.
Processed meat is any meat that has been treated to preserve it and/or add flavour – for example, bacon, salami, sausages, canned meat, or chicken nuggets.
