Eating processed meat could raise one’s chances of developing dementia, researchers from the UK say, with just a single rasher of bacon a day associated with a 44% increased risk of contracting the brain-wasting disease.
Researchers at the University of Leeds examined data from almost half a million people to assess how eating meat impacts on health. Their findings, released Monday in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, show that eating a 25g serving of bacon – one rasher – every day could increase a person’s dementia risk by up to a half.
If processed meat is bad, then the researchers also say that eating 50g of unprocessed red meat – such as beef, veal, or pork – can help in fighting dementia, decreasing the risk of getting the disease by a fifth (19%).

The UK would know all about meat causing brain disease, eh?
My father is 95. Eats bacon every day, prepared by my 93 year old (on April 2) mother. He has done for many years.
They are well, live in their own home. Text and do computer things daily, as well as bake and cook daily. They are up on everything politically and can hold discussions that you can’t imagine with their recall of people and events.
We don’t need to fall for that stuff I’m sure you’d agree. ;)
“eating 50g of unprocessed red meat – such as beef, veal, or pork – can help in fighting dementia, decreasing the risk of getting the disease by a fifth (19%).”
Cheeseburgers. They’ll literally keep you from going nuts.
Based on today’s News, it is apparent that NOT eating Bacon makes you want to go down to King Super and shoot a bunch of People.
😕🙌🐖 Gotta luv the search engine.
Then explain why bacon eaters rule the world.
An hour? I only catch the ads for them and it makes me queasy.
Not a funny situation, but you made me chuckle. :)
Smells like BS.

So if I have my bacon on a double-cheeseburger, it’s wash! Good to know!
Rasher : a thin slice of bacon or ham broiled or fried
also : a portion consisting of several such slices
Sounds like lunch to me.
Several? 😕😄🙌🐖
Surely that’s within the rate of “Statistically insignificant”
So eat uncured bacon. Very simple. They also have uncured salami etc. etc.
Dammit... now I want a Wendy’s double cheeseburger with extra bacon
Once a month I get there monster burger. I pay the extra and make it a triple with extra bacon.
I only eat strips of bacon. So I am good.
