Sausage is one of the biggest pitfalls of the Standard American Diet and unfortunately, it is one of the most popular. Pork itself is a bad idea because of it’s high levels of toxins and the fact that it is highly acidic. The pork is then coupled with nitrites, preservatives, and additives to make what we know as sausage. The World Cancer Research Fund’s report, Food, Nutrition, Physical Activity and the Prevention of Cancer: a Global Perspective (2007) warned people that processed meat is dangerous. The report went as far as to say that processed meats are too dangerous for human consumption and should be avoided FOR LIFE! The chemicals in these types of meats are known to cause many types of cancer and are just to detrimental to health. See the report here http://www.dietandcancerreport.org/
