Processed meats

[Myztek]

Processed meats are proven to contain sodium nitrite, which can cause cancer. So... how can I know what kind of meats to buy, and whether or not they're packaged with sodium nitrite?

Buy fresh meat only................nothing in a plastic bag!
Shop at Whole foods or Wild Oats

processed meats do not provide the same amounts of nutrients. you shouldn't be consuming a lot of them

Tuna in a can alright??

 

[LAM]

nothing wrong with canned fish they aren't really processed. any type of protein that is not in it's natural form should be considered processed

Ok, I have this supposedly organic turkey here. Here are the ingredients:


Organic turkey breast, water, sodium lactate (From beets), salt, Carrageenan (from seaweed)


Does this cut it, or not?

why not just cook a whole turkey for less money ? plus you get a lot more protein

Because I'm lazy... and can't cook.
