I wonder what the incresed risk of pancreatic cancer is from all the high fructose corn syrup in just about anything? Oh, you say it lowers the risk of pancreatic cancer? Could that be because the high fructose corn syrup so elevates the incidence of Type 2 diabetes and kills those people before they can develop pancreatic cancer?

How much do I increase my risk of cancer if I go Hannibal Lecter and only eat Vegans?

They can have these at my funeral:

Studies have shown that 100% of people die eventually of causes. Other than an occasional re-gifted fruit cake, nothing lives forever.

Pancreatic cancer risk increases with every 2 strips of bacon [or sausage] you eat: Study

Study? You know, if you stare at a grilled cheese sandwich long enough it starts to look like Jesus.

For every piece of sausage or two strips of bacon a person eats every day, there's a 19 percent rise in risk for pancreatic cancer, the study found.

"There is strong evidence that being overweight or obese increases the risk of pancreatic cancer...

So which is the actual risk? Eating bacon, or being overweight?

Did they control for weight?

Did the people that ate more bacon also weigh more (likely, since eating more contributes to weighing more)?

Unless the eliminated the weight variable (which means all the subjects in the test need to have the same amount of body fat) there's no way to tell if the cause was the bacon or the weight.

Why am I skeptical? Because, there are special interest groups (PETA, vegetarian groups) that have an agenda of eliminating the consumption of all meat. And, if that means fudging a few numbers here or there, they are happy to do it.

These people come up with more BS excuses for the cause of Cancer, but they cannot come up with a cure.

A little 17 year old girl has to do that for them.

First it was eggs , then cooked meat, then the sun, then cigarettes, now it’s bacon.

These are the same brilliant scientists that gave us Global Warming.

[libbylu]

Another load of crap from the fat police.

[ottbmare]

How come none of my Southern ancestors got pancreatic cancer, even though they chowed down on ham, bacon, sausage, pork chops, ribs, barbecue, and all the other fruits of the pig? Hm? Hm?

(Wait a minute. Maybe it was because they mostly got shot by Yankees before they had a chance to develop cancer.)

[TBall]

Yeah, and every time I fart my chances of hearing loss increases.

My dad died of pancreatic cancer. He was a health fanatic who never drank soft drinks, didn’t smoke, rarely drank and was not overweight. He ate lots of fruits and vegetable and didn’t eat junk food. The worst thing he did was eat 2 eggs/day and drink whole milk. Diabetes runs in our family. I’m more likely to believe that pancreatic cancer is related to faulty carb/sugar metabolism as well as smoking. Patrick Swayze smoked 4 pack of cigarettes/day. My dad was a bowler and was exposed to plenty of second-hand smoke.

5 of every 3 people don't understand percentages.

[Signalman]

In a few years, another study will come out stating that eating bacon is good for you. Just like coffee was bad and now it’s good. Wine was bad, and now it’s good. Margarine was good and butter was evil. Nope, check that. Margarine has transfats, butter has natural fats, butter is better.
Eggs were bad, now their good.

Eating fat makes you fat, eating carbs keeps you thin. Uh...wait a minute, we were mistaken, eating CARBS makes you fat and eating FAT makes you thin. That’s it.

Hey food nazis, give it a rest.

Damn!
According to this I died many years ago. By my reckoning, I should have died of pancreatic cancer roughly after eating bacon every day for about two months.

[Support_and_Defend]

Bacon and processed meat do not give you cancer. That lie is the biggest load of crap I have ever heard. First - the study said obese people have a higher chance... True. But it is not the fault of red meat. Read a book by forensic journalist Gary Taubes called Good Calorie Bad Calories, or the easier (and shorter) version, Why We Get Fat, And What To Do About It to see how the government has been telling lies about what we should and should not eat. The food pyramid and government food groups are why we are all headed for diabetes and death from cancer.

[rmlew]

Is it he fat, the types of fat, or the nitrates?

[Pearls Before Swine]

Correlation is not causation. Bacon (tasty though it be) has just SOME red meat in it.

[Georgia Girl 2]

If thats true everybody in the South should have pancreatic cancer.

[fortheDeclaration]

So, it is being overweight that is the issue, not the pork.

[OldMissileer]

This new “study” is actually a meta study. It is not worth the paper on which it is printed.
