These loons are genetically incapable of feeling embarrassment.

If this had any validity most of the population for the last 60 years would be shuffling around in depends.

Simple logic trumps fake studies.

“the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health”

AKA, Vegan Publicists

These association studies based on large populations are all BOGUS. It is impossible to adjust your statistics for all the confounding variables:

“You collect data on sunburns and ice cream consumption. You find that higher ice cream consumption is associated with a higher probability of sunburn. Does that mean ice cream consumption causes sunburn?

Here, the confounding variable is temperature: high temperatures cause people to both eat more ice cream and spend more time outdoors under the sun, resulting in more sunburns.”

https://www.scribbr.com/methodology/confounding-variables/

Is bacon eaten by people on the Standard American Diet (SAD)? Yes. Is the SAD full of unhealthy foods? Yes. Can you separate bacon out from the bread, candy, donuts, ice cream, alcohol, etc? Nope.

So...Bogus study.

But if you have sauerkraut on your hotdog, it cancels out the dementia effect.

If bacon or any red meat is bad it would only be because
they messed with it every way they thought they could
get away with. So what are we to do?

Remember and declare God’s words

Isaiah 54:17
The Bible verse Isaiah 54:17 (KJV) states: “No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn.” This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD.

A friend raised a Mangalitsa pig for me. I made bacon from the bellies. Insanely good.

First, I love bacon. We buy 4 or 5 pounds at a time and store the ones we won’t be eating immediately in the freezer. We usually have bacon and eggs 2 or 3 times a week.

But I will admit that my wife and I knew a person who took it way too far. He didn’t end up with dementia that we know of but put himself at risk and then died by eating almost nothing but bacon every day. He went on some type of Arkins style diet where he basically ate nothing but bacon. He would not eat any carbohydrates including fruits or vegetables. He started having various problems fairly quickly and his doctor told him to add some variety to his diet... Vital organs started malfunctioning and basically shutting down. His wife who was a very close friend begged him to start eating what his doctor recommended.

But he had lost quite a bit of weight and didn’t recognize how awful he was looking and feeling because he was happy about the weight loss. Then he just died... I am not sure what killed him. I think it was a heart attack, but he had heart, liver and kidney problems along with some minor strokes... so who knows.

The guy was only in his 50s. I believe the people who go extreme on the high protein diet scams have an eating disorder that is every bit as serious as anorexia or bulimia. We have known several others who have died from this type of thing. All of them have been middle aged white men. It seems like women, minorities and old folks are not as affected by this eating disorder... I have no idea why; maybe they just go for high protein fad diets that allow some variety.

My mother lived to be 96. She was mentally competent until the end. She always ate bacon.

Smoked pork belly hardly qualifies as processed meat.

Anything that relies on self assessment is questionable

I suspect it is the preservatives / nitrates that are the issue if not all together BS.

Having said that there is uncured Bacon, Salami and Hot Dogs if you can find something that tastes good and doesn’t cost an arm and a leg.
