Not all meats are equal in the degree to which they cause colon cancer. People in a recent study who eat the most processed meats, for example (hot dogs, sausages, cold cuts, etc.), had a 75 % higher chance of developing an "advanced polyp" than those who ate the least processed meats. However, those who at the most chicken were 39 % less likely to develop such a polyp than those who ate the least.
