[QUOTE="NicoleC1971, post: 2432376, member: 365308"] Remember that you are trying to keep your blood glucose and insulin levels low so anything like deli meats that helps may be a benefit balanced against the small risk of bowel cancer that I think the advice refers to. If you gain fat and have high blood sugars/insulin levels then this is also linked to a greater risk of breast and colon cancer as well as all the other risks for diabetics (heart disease, kidneys, eyes etc.). For example there's a clear causal link between say smoking and lung cancer (meets statistical criteria to infer causation) unlike saturated fat and heart disease which is only indirectly correlated and unproven. There's been concern about nitrates in bacon and other cured meats being the cause of the correlation but its not a big signal. You can buy nitrate free bacon and if I can afford it I will buy meats with high pork content (less water, hooves, eyes and whatever bits might go into cheaper versions) but that's because I think they taste nicer.
