E ating processed meats such as bacon every day could increase the risk of dementia by 44 per cent, a new study has found.

The study, published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, examined nearly half a million people with an average age of around 57, who had signed up to the UK Biobank project.

The findings showed eating 25g of processed meat — the equivalent of one bacon rasher — raises the risk of dementia by 44 per cent.

Meat-eating has previously been linked to dementia risk, but the researchers believe that this is the first study of its kind to find a link between the amount of meat consumed and the chance of developing the disease.

Huifeng Zhang, of the University of Leeds, who led the study, said: "Worldwide, the prevalence of dementia is increasing and diet as a modifiable factor could play a role.

"Worldwide, the prevalence of dementia is increasing and diet as a modifiable factor could play a role."

It certainly couldn't be that we're all living a lot longer than we used to. No, that would make too much sense as an explanation and would dry up the millions of dollars of grants needed for bogus studies.

How many people in the study actually had bacon every day? What was the average age of the daily bacon eater? Medical statistics like this usually turn out to be completely meaningless.

Pork bad. Got it.

If you cook Bacon at 6 degrees, what happens?

A high-carb, high-fat diet is terrible for you.

Good to know. I will not eat bacon rashers, and only eat bacon slices.

They need to define what exactly they mean by “processed meat”. All meat is processed before eating.

[logi_cal869]

First one hundred words, bullshit exposed.

i.e.:

Processed meat vs. ‘meat eating’.

Another agenda-driven study.

"Could", eh? Yeah, science doesn't get more definitive than that.

[Redmen4ever]

if eating one bacon a day decreases the risk of dementia by 44 percent, I going to eat five bacon a day and reduce the risk by 220 percent.
