LONDON: The bacon and sausage on your plate or those steaming hot pies are increasing your chances of premature death from cancer and heart disease. Processed meat is to blame for one in 30 early deaths, a large-scale study has now found.
The EPIC (European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition) study involving 10 countries and 23 centres in Europe and almost half a million people has found that risk of premature death increased with the amount of processed meat eaten by a person. According to the study, even one sausage a day is bad for your health.
The researchers say that salting, curing and smoking of meat gives rise to carcinogens like nitrosamines, and these may be the cause of the increased cancer mortality.
Processed meat products are also high in cholesterol and saturated fats, which are linked with increased risk of heart and circulatory disease.
Professor Sabine Rohrmann from the University of Zurich, who led this analysis explained, "Risks of dying earlier from cancer and cardiovascular disease increased with the amount of processed meat eaten such as sausages, salami or ham. Overall, we estimate that 3% of premature deaths each year could be prevented if people ate less than 20g processed meat per day."

Yeah, but as long as I’m able to eat me some pork and PO some islamic nut bags, I’m good. Hopefully it’ll PO some radical left wing extremist demokkkrat scumbags for some reason too. Maybe some peta scummers too.................(maniacal laughter.........)
I switched from bacon to lean ham.
It probably won’t help at all
Balderdash...
Here a bacon, there a bacon...

A perfectly balanced meal, IMHO.
I just love your post:
According to the hog unions processed meats are killing their members herd by herd.
“First they came for the sows ears, then the pork rinds, when they came for the sausage it was all over.”, Porky Pig.
There is all kind of preservative free bacon.
I wonder if they used nitrates in those days.
I get uncured from Krogers but still don’t eat it very often.
Yep ....had to go make some myself for same reason.....
Stay safe !
With moderation as well I might add....:o)
I never ate Twinkies. ...but I miss them.
You’re welcome to it. Cheers!
There is an absolutely enormous number of people on Planet Earth who simply cannot abide the thought that someone, somewhere, might actually be enjoying life.
“Now you’re going to have me thinking all night about breakfast.”
We never eat bacon, but have been thinking a lot about it after stumbling on to the show, “United States Of Bacon”, on TV last week. Good grief - they showed some decadent, but yummy looking stuff. Interesting show.
I had a brother in law who ate bacon or what ever every morning, in fact he would eat anything that would not eat him first, and he also drink modestly.
He died at 101.
This “study” is bogus. There is no way to accomodate all the variables, therefore, it’s not science, it’s agenda. Therefore, I think I’ll have processed meat for lunch.
Congress must act to register sausage and bacon. Anyone buying or consuming it should be prosecuted.
Either that or they should make it free for all seniors.
Kill them off so they cn get the inheritance tax sooner.
