Bacon is not a processed food, it is a cured meat.

True... unfortunately the title of the linked article is: Cured meats are now in the same boat as asbestos, alcohol, and tobacco

Title says nothing about bacon: “Everything you need to know about that study linking bacon and cancer [Major WHO report]

“Bacon, ham and sausages rank alongside cigarettes as a major cause of cancer, the World Health Organisation has said, placing cured and processed meats in the same category as asbestos, alcohol, arsenic and tobacco.”

The next statement does not really covered bacon in this article, it again notes processed meats.

“The report from the WHO’s International Agency for Research on Cancer said there was enough evidence to rank processed meats as group 1 carcinogens because of a causal link with bowel cancer.”
