We know we said meatballs, but this can really include any kind of processed, ground meat product. If you're making your own meatballs at home with high quality, grass-fed meat, you've got no reason to worry. But if you're partial to the packaged supermarket brands it might be time to make the switch to something more natural. We know everyone loves an easy dinner of spaghetti and meatballs, but there's better ways to do it without taking the cancer risk.
Processed meatballs and other low-quality ground meat products contain trans fats, as well as unnatural preservatives. If you've got a real craving for red meat, we'd recommend making your own meatballs, splurging on a nice piece of grass-fed steak, or even buying a high-quality burger. Don't settle for highly processed meatballs that barely even resemble meat!
