There's some bad news for bacon and beer lovers. Indulging in the fried pork-and-brew duo can increase your risk of some cancers, according to new research from the World Cancer Research Fund (WCRF). The organization revealed that the elimination of food and drink like beer and bacon can help cut your risk of cancer by up to 40 percent.

The WCRF released a 10-point list after research found that 12 cancers, including liver, breast, kidney, ovary, esophagus, pancreas, and more were specifically linked to consumption of alcohol (beer, wine, spirits), processed meats (i.e. bacon), and other bad habits. The research was conducted using information compiled from more than 51 million people.

Overall, obesity is a top risk factor for cancer, so processed meat and beer are obviously a fatty duo. Fast food, sugar, starches, and other processed and fried foods are obvious culprits as well. Obesity may top smoking as the number one cause of cancer worldwide, according to the WCRF with new cancer cases expected to reach 24 million by 2035.
