This is why Culinary Medicine promotes a plant-predominant pattern of eating. Regular consumption of processed meats has been classified as a Group 1 carcinogen—placing it in the same category of cancer risk as cigarette smoking.

Unfortunately, many traditional Filipino breakfast choices are centered on processed meats that fall under this high-risk classification.
