13 hours agoThe Not-So-Hidden Links Between Hot Dogs And Bologna - Tasting Table
Bologna and hot dogs are both highly-processed, cooked sausages made from similar meat trimmings and preservatives.
For although experts agree fresh meat can be a valuable source of proteins, healthy fats and essential micronutrients, some processed meat products are considered such a cancer risk that the World Health Organisation believes they should be slapped with a health warning. Key factors include how the animal was raised, the specific cut of meat, its fat content, and, crucially, how it is cooked or prepared.
By and large, deli meat - which includes things like turkey breast, ham, roast beef, and chicken breast - is a cut of meat that is seasoned, cooked, and sliced thinly. Processed meats like salami, pepperoni, and bologna are something else entirely. That being said, even whole turkey breast deli meat can have high sodium levels, preservatives, and other undesirable ingredients. A general rule is that it's likely that freshly sliced turkey breast from the deli counter is better for you.
