Not myself a doctor, but, basically yes?

Cancer is not... one thing.

It is a huge family of diseases that... work in the body in very similar ways, but ... more or less, each different kind of tissue in your body has different things that are either known to, or are strongly suspected to increase the likelihood that a cancer will develop in them.

(Not counting 'so i accidentally bathed in the light of the demon core' or something like that.)

Anyway, again to the best of my not an expert understanding... you have to have a considerably red meat heavy diet, for your chances of colon cancer to rise.

    I know charcuterie is bad, and smoked meat is horrible... Actually, yeah, fair, that's most of the ways I can come up with for heavily processing meat. I guess minced meat is fine?
