Interested in your thoughts on this one, @GidMK https://www.theguardian.com/news/2018/mar/01/bacon-cancer-processed-meats-nitrates-nitrites-sausages …
For example, the article specifically states that there has not been a single case of botulism poisoning associated with Parma ham, even though later it's noted that botulism poisoning is crazy rare and this may not be a great measure of food safety

The cancer risk from processed meats was only confirmed recently in part because it's really small, so until we did ENORMOUS (250k+) cohort studies, it was pretty hard to see
-
Also, the first ~3,000 words focus entirely on one group of chemicals and then there's only a single paragraph mentioning that the increased risk is likely due to a group of things including haem-iron and others
