The World Health Organization (WHO) will soon warn that some of America’s favorite meats are as dangerous a cigarettes.
WHO will target processed meats such as bacon, ham and sausages as causes of cancer and will say red meat is also hazardous to health in a decision to be released Monday. The findings resulted from a meeting of scientists from 10 countries.
The Daily Mail reports WHO’s International Agency for Research on Cancer will conclude that a host of processed meats should be placed in the highest of five possible rankings as “carcinogenic to humans.”
The ranking will put burgers and bacon alongside asbestos, arsenic, cigarettes and alcohol. The justification behind the decision, according to the Daily Mail, is that when meat is being preserved through processes like smoking carcinogens can be added. Red meat on the other hand has been linked to bowel cancer, according to the U.K’s Department of Health.
The decision is already drawing fire from scientists and meat experts, with the North American Meat Institute claiming the the report went against “both common sense and dozens of studies showing no correlation between meat and cancer.”
Speaking to the Daily Telegraph, Dr. Ian Johnson, Emeritus Fellow of the Institute of Food Research, said:
Although there is epidemiological evidence for a statistically significant association between processed meat consumption and bowel cancer, it is important to emphasise that the size of the effect is relatively small, and the mechanism is poorly defined.
It is certainly very inappropriate to suggest that any adverse effect of bacon and sausages on the risk of bowel cancer is comparable to the dangers of tobacco smoke, which is loaded with known chemical carcinogens and increases the risk of lung cancer in cigarette smokers by around 20 fold.
Self sufficient in every respect.
Must be all the muzzies in the UN pushing that.
The “world” will not be happy, until they drag the US down to their sorry turd world existence.
The organization that lied about DDT because stopping malaria saved too many third world lives.
The organization that promoted anal sex as cheap birth control in the third world, result in an AIDS epidemic.
Now they are promoting a pro-sharia agenda.
Personally, I always eat my bacon WITH asbestos. That and a glass of Agent Orange make for a nutritious breakfast.
Were all the scientists Muslims?
Yup. the ragheads are behind it.
They can have my bacon when they pry it from my cold dead...aw to hell with that...nobody is going to take my bacon and if they try I will use their corpses to feed the hogs, and them and then go hunt down the ones who sent them.
Bacon confiscation/banning next in this country? Next to gun grabbing, a second reason for CWII might be over bacon. (only half sarcasm here!)
This is nothing but Muslims infiltrating the NWO and trying to impose their satanic dislikes on the rest of us.
Bacon for everybody!

and don’t forget to eat your deadly eggs and butter.:>)
Don’t be knocking Muslim scientists.
Don’t forget it was a Muslim who invented the condom by using the small intestine in a young goat.
However, it was an Englishman who improved the idea by removing the intestine from the animal.
Ah laks bacon in my grits.
This is probably really about pushing “climate change” agenda. This move will be used to stop people converting forest to range and pasture land.
ROTFL!
Can’t eat bacon anymore. Or any smoked meat. But I’m under doctor’s orders to eat red meat frequently.
This is how it always begins - corrupt leftist org makes a statement, there will be pushback, then they’re going to “apologize” and pretend to backtrack, then it’ll take effect in bits and pieces.
Fool me twice, shame on me.
Three bad decisions in a row means the WHO can Go F Themselves and GTFO of the USA.
My mother is 98 years old and has eaten bacon almost every day of her life. She still eats bacon everyday and is on a non restrictive diet because she is great health for her age. Eat more bacon!
