Food, in addition to being necessary for survival, is essential for people’s well-being. In this way, health depends fundamentally on the variety and types of food that are ingested in order to have a good quality of life; however, there are foods that are consumed daily, but are not positive for health, since they can trigger serious conditions.

As such, pancreatic cancer is a type of cancer that originates in the pancreas when cells in the body begin to grow out of control. The most common type of pancreatic cancer is adenocarcinoma of the pancreas, which arises when exocrine cells in the pancreas begin to grow out of control. Most of the pancreas is made up of exocrine cells that form the exocrine glands and ducts.

The other less common types of exocrine pancreatic cancer include adenosquamous carcinomas, squamous cell carcinomas, signet ring cell carcinomas, undifferentiated carcinomas, and undifferentiated giant cell carcinomas.

On the other hand, Pancreatic Cancer UK reinforces the above, since it also positions red meat and processed meat among the risk factors for pancreatic cancer. “Eating red meat can increase the risk of pancreatic cancer, particularly meat cooked at high temperatures. Red meat includes beef, lamb, and pork. Eating processed meat may also increase the risk of pancreatic cancer. Processed meat is meat that has been preserved by smoking, curing, salting, or adding chemical preservatives. It includes sausages, ham, bacon, salami and hamburgers.
