    Not myself a doctor, but, basically yes?

    Cancer is not… one thing.

    It is a huge family of diseases that… work in the body in very similar ways, but … more or less, each different kind of tissue in your body has different things that are either known to, or are strongly suspected to increase the likelihood that a cancer will develop in them.

    (Not counting ‘so i accidentally bathed in the light of the demon core’ or something like that.)

    Anyway, again to the best of my not an expert understanding… you have to have a considerably red meat heavy diet, for your chances of colon cancer to rise.

        I know charcuterie is bad, and smoked meat is horrible… Actually, yeah, fair, that’s most of the ways I can come up with for heavily processing meat. I guess minced meat is fine?
