They ban the use of tobacco in the health care
system.
Meat has become the new tobacco, processed meat and red
meat as carcinogens.
For every 100 gram of bacon you consume, you increase
your colorectal cancer risk by 17%.
So you know, like back, I'm talking about like 30-40
years ago, you know, when tobacco was something which was
pretty common, it was like you are treating a patient
with cancer from tobacco, but then you see the the
physician performing the surgery is smoking.
So that campaign removing tobacco from hospitals and from physicians
the cigarettes got they banned the use of tobacco in
the healthcare system and this was good because tobacco was
accusative was causing cancers and so does the meat.
Now, because we know that American Institute of Cancer Research
and World Health Organization and American Cancer Research Fund, they
all have identified processed meat and red meat as carcinogens.
World Health Organization has clearly indicated that processed meat are
definitely carcinogens, while red meat is a probable carcinogen.
So we know that the research is there and we
know that for every 100 gram of bacon you consume,
you increase your colorectal cancer risk by 17%.
So that's huge.
And So what we are understanding and what the studies
and the research suggest that meat has become the new
tobacco and we should eliminate it from hospitals, from cafeterias,
from public places, from hotels, from our menu completely so
that we don't lose lives when we clearly know from
big organizations, well reputed organizations like World Health Organizations, that
it is a carcinogen.
And if you are consuming like as I told you,
daily consumption of 100 grams of processed meat can increase
your colorectal, colorectal cancer risk by 70%.
It's huge.
So we should do something to stop it.
And that's what we are.
We have this, we started this, this campaign.
