From an article by Neal Barnard, M.D., President, Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine:
I've been slowly weaning myself off meat for a while now; guess I'm quite done with hotdogs and deli meats. *shudder*

Here's the article: Could Processed Meat Give You Cancer?The issue is cancer. Every year, about 143,000 Americans are diagnosed with colorectal cancer and more than 50,000 die of the disease. About half of all cases are already incurable when found. The U.S. Government and other entities have poured millions of dollars into the search for the cause. But one of the causes they found turned out to be too hot for the government to handle.
It's the ordinary hot dog. At least 58 scientific studies have looked at the issue, and the jury has rendered its verdict, which is now beyond reasonable doubt.
