Let’s be Frank.
While it is common to enjoy a hot dog in a baseball game, a new survey reveals that most Americans do not know that tubular meat can be one of the bad things for their health.
“Tens of millions of Americans could eat hot dogs this season of baseball, but most of them are unaware that it increases their risk of colorectal cancer and other diseases,” said Noah Praamsma, a nutritional education coordinator for the doctors’ committee for responsibility, survey.
Once associated mainly with the elderly, cases of colorectal cancer have continuously increased among young people since the 90s. Today, it is the leading cause of cancer -related deaths in Americans under 50, according to the National Cancer Institute.
The American popular duration of elaborate eating meat can be blamed.
Processed meat – Like hot dogs, sausages, bacon, pepperon and bacon, which are salted, healed, smoked or chemically stored to extend their shelf life – are classified as carcinogens for humanities by the World Health Organization.
WHO noted that there is “the proof of adequacy from epidemiological studies that eating processed meat causes colorectal cancer”.
Experts believe that the increased risk of cancer can be from nitrate inside the meat that combine with compounds in the body to damage the cells.
A March 2024 study found that people who consume a lot of red or processed meat, respectively, face a risk of 30% to 40% increased for colorectal cancer.
The American Heart Association recommends limiting processed meat to 100 grams per week, about two services.
Scientists are still learning the full extent of what makes foods so harmful. New evidence suggests that they can interfere with the process of natural healing of the body. A December 2024 study found that chronic inflammation, driven by poor diet choices, plays a key role in running the increase in colorectal cancer.
Research does not see you resonating with ordinary Americans.
In the new survey, 88% of American adults report eating a hot dog at some point in their lives.
While 70% said they were heard of hot dog -related health risks, less than 20% were able to remember specific risks.
Among those who were heard about health risks, most noted that hot dogs contribute to cardiovascular issues, cancer and overweight.
According to the National Council of Hot Dog & Slavsc (NHDSC), Americans are expected to eat 7 billion hot dogs from the day of commemoration to work day, a time known as “Peak Hot Season”.
Fortunately for columns across the country, many people seem to be open to potentially healthier alternatives of the stadium.
Forty percent of pole adults said they would try a hot plant -based dog if they were looking for food in a baseball stadium, and 63% believe that stadiums should make these dogs available.
“The good news is that many stadiums across the country now offer hot plant -based dogs like alternatives to hot meat dogs,” Praamsma said. “Fans who trade even a service of processed meat per day for a plant -based alternative would hit a home for their health.”
The benefits of eating a diet rich in fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, oils, whole grains, legumes and beans are well placed.
Selection of raw plants based on processed meat of support Good blood pressure, best blood sugar and a healthier body mass index while lowering the risk of cancer.
If you choose a plant -based dog, check for additional sodium, added sugars, artificial colors, additives and saturated fat content. Some may not be as healthy as they seem.
If your stadium does not sell, don’t be afraid.
“If vegetarian dogs and other plants-based options are available, choose roasted peanuts-a key element in baseball stadiums,” Praamsma said. “Peanuts are filled with plant proteins that fall in hand and can be protective against colorectal cancer.”
And if you are cooling and circulating at home this spring and summer, Praamsma promises that carrot dogs can also be a hit.
