Hey Joe!.!.

There is nothing wrong with a high quality luncheon meat!. The problem is many of the cheaper ones are loaded with salt and nitrates!. Www@Answer-Health@Com

Turkey, chicken and ham are not bad for you in their unprocessed and trimmed form!. It is the pasterization and the fillers used on these foods that make them dicey!. The sodium content and the fat content and the sugar contents are all off the hizzzle!. I usually bake a turkey and then just take the skin of the bones freeze it in baggies and you have nothing but turkey!.You do this with all your foods!. Have you tried the tofu ham and tofu turkey!. You just have to spend half the day at the store reading the ingredients labels!. I keep it simple!. Good luck to you!.
Its not the foods but what you put in them or on them that is not good!. Www@Answer-Health@Com

Deli meats often contain listeria!. Pregnant women aren't supposed to eat them because listeria poisoning can cause birth defects!. Otherwise, the listeria may just make you sick!.

I haven't heard about the nitrates, but I used to work in a supermarket and deli meat was ALWAYS refrigerated!. The truck was refrigerated as well!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

there are nitrates which preserve the meat!. they believe it may cause colon cancer!. an instructor of mine said her parents owned a grocery store, and even deli meats are not refrigerated when they are delivered there!. they only refrigerate them at the store to make it more appetizing to the consumer!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

yes, they are bad!.!. Www@Answer-Health@Com
