They are high in nitrates which are known to cause cancer( colon).
I'm not sure of percentage but any processed meat/ foods are very unhealthy.

Hot dogs are so bad for you adults can't even metabolize them.

I hate hot dogs, though according to health reports on television: everything in the world causes cancer. O_o I heard on health report that said coughing causes cancer.

No one truly knows the causes to cancer, I'm sure it can be a variety of things. Hot dogs aren't healthy and very processed, but I doubt they cause cancer.

Everything causes cancer. Worrying about cancer probably causes cancer.
Hot dogs are delicious. Eat up and enjoy life for however long you've got it.
