If you love sausages, hot dogs, and brats, you might be in for a shorter life, a new study suggests.
The study analyzed data from half a million men and women, as a part of the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition. It was published in the journal BMC Medicine [PDF]. They found a link between "processed" meat which includes all meat products, including ham, bacon, sausages; small part of minced meat that has been bought as a ready-to-eat product and cardiovascular disease and cancer, they report.
Also, they found that the more processed meat you eat the more likely you are to die early (of anything). A previous study of just red meat came to a similar conclusion.
The researchers think the increased cancer risk could be due to the presence of preservatives like the salt, smoke and nitrate. Also, the high levels of fat in these meats. "Risks of dying earlier from cancer and cardiovascular disease also increased with the amount of processed meat eaten," study researcher Sabine Rohrmann, from the University of Zurich, said in a statement [PDF].
"Overall, we estimate that 3 percent of premature deaths each year could be prevented if people ate less than 20g processed meat per day."

Bacon Explosion: The BBQ Sausage Recipe of all Recipes
I eat nothing but organic, indigenous weeds.
I figure that I have zero chance of living to 120. If eating bacon increases my chances of premature death by 3%, then I have .03 times zero chance of living to 120.
Can’t figure out your math. Tell us.
They had 20g as the cut-off for danger. Anything 19.5 grams or more would be rounded off to 20, so I multiplied by 19.4 grams to be on the safe side.
And don’t forget - Pork is like kryptonite to the diaper-heads
Yes, yes it is. :-)
And did everyone hear? LARD (pork fat) is a great machine lubricant and is one of the primary lubricants for rifle bullets in military weapons
(I dont know if it is or not, but its a great rumor to start, isnt it?)
Excellent rumor. :-)
I have been trying to start that one for years
