Reducing Red And Processed Meat Intake Crucial To Lowering Cancer Risk

Consuming over 700 grams of red meat weekly or 50 grams of processed meat daily significantly raises bowel cancer risk, according to the World Health Organization (WHO).

Processed meats like ham, bacon, and salami are classified as Group 1 carcinogens, in the same category as tobacco and cigarettes, indicating strong evidence of their cancer-causing properties. Red meats, including beef, lamb, and pork, fall into Group 2A, meaning they could possibly cause cancer.

The Cancer Council advises limiting red meat to one serving per day or two servings 3-4 times weekly and cutting out processed meats entirely or consuming them sparingly. Substituting red and processed meats with options like chicken, fish, beans, or vegetables can significantly reduce cancer risk and promote a healthier diet.

Kia Recalls 463,000 Telluride SUVs Over Fire Risk In Power Seats

Car manufacturer Kia, is recalling almost 463,000 Telluride SUVs from model years 2020-2024 due to a fire risk linked to overheating seat motors, federal highway safety regulators warned. Owners are urged to park their vehicles outside as a precaution. 

The recall affects Tellurides manufactured between January 2019 and May 2024. The defect, present in an estimated 1% of these SUVs, involves the power seat adjustment motor. If the seat adjustment switch is hit too forcefully, it can dislodge and cause the motor to run continuously, leading to overheating and potential fire hazards. Kia advises all owners to heed the recall and contact dealers for repairs to prevent any incidents.
