A study out of Sweden finds that eating two slices of bacon- or one sausage - a day can increase a person’s risk of developing pancreatic cancer, dr. Manny Alvarez - FOX News Channel's (FNC) Senior Managing Editor for Health News, rotes.

According to researchers from the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm, a mere 1.8 ounces of processed meat per day can increase the risk of the potentially deadly cancer by 19 percent.

The overall analysis conclusively points to the fact that all of these processed, cured and smoked meats, when used very frequently in our diets, can be quite toxic. The main problem with pancreatic cancer is it’s so difficult to diagnose.  First, because doctors don’t have any unique test for pancreatic cancer.  Second, when a patient does actually exhibit symptoms—such as jaundice, abdominal pain, and weight loss—they are typically so nonspecific, it could easily go undetected until the cancer has reached advanced stages.
