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.

I’m sitting here completely surrounded by no beer.
Reading and watching the propaganda of the fifth-column enemydia is more likely to cause dementia. Look at all the demented Demonicrats, including the diaper-filling one in the White House.
Geezus H. Crimany! Guns, sugar, artificial sweeteners, caffeine, eggs, milk, and now bacon are all bad for to eat? I ain’t believing it. Going to fry up some bacon now. What a joke.

Can I have your stuff?
Hell No!

“There’s 8 grams in a slice of bacon...not 25.
That’s itty-bitty tiny bacon for smurfs. I just counted 12 slices in a 12 oz pack which is over 25 grams per slice.
Sure. I’ll box everything up and set on the curb.
Lucky me. I’m American so I don’t eat rashers.
I do like slices of bacon though.
baked not fried. save the grease for cooking.
bacon nazis can go spit!
There is a reason we fought a war with them..

My man.
Glad you survived it! I have genetically high LDL cholesterol and can’t take statins. My Triglycerides and HDL are good. I stay away from bacon and meat like it. Doc wants me under 120 pounds and I’m around 135 since I hurt my foot and she is NOT happy.
Do you have ultrasounds on your arteries? She has me do it occasionally to check for any blockages while they are easy to clear.
I had a Heart catheterization:

Ask your Doc about Zetia. Lowers LDL and is not a statin.
Well, you would have to be crazy to not love bacon.
