Incidence of cancer is also closely linked to nitrosamines --found in the delicious browned or charred part of a meat's surface... and in the nitrates/nitrites of processed meats, esp. ham. Denmark has the highest cancer rate, and residents consume more ham than any other nation per capita.
Data for cancer frequency by country
This page presents the age-standardised rate for all cancers (excluding non-melanoma skin cancer) ordered by the countries with the 50 highest rates. The age-standardized rate for all cancers (excluding non-melanoma skin cancer) for men and women combined was 182 per 100,000 in 2012. The rate was higher for men (205 per 100,000) than women (165 per 100,000).
Both sexes The highest cancer rate for men and women together was found in Denmark with 338 people per 100,000 being diagnosed in 2012.
The age-standardized rate was at least 300 per 100,000 for nine countries (Denmark, France, Australia, Belgium, Norway, United States of America, Ireland, Republic of Korea and The Netherlands).
The countries in the top ten come from Europe, Oceania, Northern America and Asia. Note that occupants of Japan and Korea don't eat much meat, but use a lot of fermented soy sauces and soy products, which I would not touch. Argentina residents eat a tremendous amount of meat, but also eat a lot of spices known to fight cancer.
