Scientists Say Bacon Causes Cancer

So, I read the "study" (find your own damned link). There was no science done, it was a compilation of statistics. I don't refute their findings but it isn't science. Oh, and they freely admit to having an agenda before they ever got started. But again, they are most likely right. Processed meats cause cancer.......................Along with everything else in the world.

moderation is the key

Well piss! I thought the only thing I needed to worry about was "global warming"! Now I have too worry about my bacon? can I have anything in life to enjoy anymore?

The Washington Post article talks about "processed meats",
but I thought it was specifically going to target nitrites, especially in bacon.

I read an article years ago about how when bacon is cooked at high heat it become a carcinogen.
The article was titled, "The most Dangerous Food in the Supermarket".

Gotta love Burgess Merideth. Did anyone stick around for the credits with some outtakes of the movie?

"Takin' the skinboat to tuna town", I busted out laughing so hard when I first saw that.

The outtakes..

You think eating bacon is BAD? It's a proven fact that the vast majority of all human beings that have breathed air have died, and actuarial tables indicate that if you take air into your lungs, you will die.
It's damn well time we ban breathing, in the interest of humanity.

average sodium per 2 slices of bacon about 400mg, roughly 16 strips per pound, looks like 20 pounds of bacon.

400 x 8 (servings) x 20 lbs = death by bacon

3200 mg sodium x 20 lbs 64,000 mg sodium

2400 mg RDA sodium / 64,000

26.67 days worth of sodium on that slab (estimate)

can I have 2 slices of buttered toast with my bacon?

Forgot to stick in my response to the original topic.

I've grown up eating bacon and eggs all my life too, so has my mom and both her parents as well. My mom still lives by herself, healthy as anything and she's pushing 80.My wife's grandparents lived on a farm and eggs were a mainstay of their diet along with bacon, they lived into their 90's.

Just another something to frighten people, maybe they'll come up with a new drug to make bacon safe.
