Tag: Hot dogs nutrition

The World Health Organization (WHO) has classified processed meat, including hot dogs, as a Group 1 carcinogen, meaning there is strong evidence it can cause cancer. While a summertime favorite, the question remains: are cooked hot dogs healthy, or are the risks too high for regular consumption?

The amount of protein in meat is not universal; for instance, a 100g serving of fresh, skinless chicken breast offers significantly more protein than the same weight of a hot dog. Understanding which meat is the lowest in protein requires looking at the ratio of fat to protein, as well as the processing methods involved.
