Gastroenterologist Advises Limiting Processed Meats and Additives Linked to Health Risks
Gastroenterologist Dr. Saurabh Sethi advises limiting consumption of processed meats like hot dogs, salami, and sausages due to their classification as Group 1 carcinogens linked to colorectal cancer. He also recommends avoiding foods with artificial additives such as emulsifiers, high-fructose corn syrup, and artificial sweeteners, which may harm gut health and contribute to liver disease. Experts emphasize that regular intake of highly processed foods, often high in sodium, sugars, and unhealthy fats, can increase long-term health risks.
