However, outside experts called for more research and emphasized that these kinds of observational studies cannot demonstrate a direct cause-and-effect relationship.
The first study, published in the journal BMJ, said it observed "multiple associations between preservatives that are widely used in industrial foods and beverages on the European market… and higher incidences of overall, breast and prostate cancers".
The preservatives included nitrites and nitrates, which are often used to cure ham, bacon, and sausages.
The second study, published in Nature Communications, also found a link between eating some food additives and developing type 2 diabetes.
Both studies were based on an ongoing research project in which more than 100,000 French people fill out regular questionnaires about their diet.
