consuming processed meat (at 0.6–57 g d−1) was associated with at least an 11% average increase in type 2 diabetes risk and a 7% (at 0.78–55 g d−1) increase in colorectal cancer risk.
So eating a gram of processed meat per day would significantly increase chances of type 2 diabetes, and colorectal cancer.
Define low quantity. Fruit contains sugars, which can be bad if you have too much, but I find it’s hard to eat enough fruit to push my sugar intake above my daily limit. And fruit is generally a good source of important micronutrients like fiber, potassium, B vitamins, etc.
Edit: Forgot veggies. Not tgat it matters much, cause they are also somewhat impervious to accusation. Best I can say is that lot of them contain sugars, but that’s weak on it’s own. And lead, but that’s mostly roadside ones xD
Sunlight literally birns your skin, even in small amounts.
Dunno about whole grains.
Exercise is literally damaging your body to rebuild it - done even slightly wrong can lead to long lasting problems.
Socialisation can easily turn into shunning, shaming and other mentally devastating actions over which you have no control whatsoever.
Easy creative hobbies…are a money drain. But that’s not unhealthy so your point xD
Cold cuts are a no from me - too unhealthy.
They’re high in protein, iron, zinc, and b12. Good in moderation, like most things.
Not according to latest studies, there is no safe level of processed meat consumption.
Cold cuts are often processed, rather than delivered raw.

1 gram ≃ 0.03 ounces (British imperial units)
Feels like it would be easier to list what doesn’t increase your risk of some horrible illness these days.
Fruit, vegetables, whole grains, exercise, some sunlight, some socialisation, an easy creative hobby.
You’re right, it is easier to list those things.
Isn’t fruit unhealthy except in low quantity?

Are you sure that doesn’t increase your cancer risk?
Not if you get grass fed organic unprocessed sunlight
Pretty sure it does.
As someone who is on the Irish scale of paleness I can assure you sunlight is not healthy for me.
Fruit contains fructose.
