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.

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.

“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.

Lucky me. I’m American so I don’t eat rashers.

I do like slices of bacon though.

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.

Ask your Doc about Zetia. Lowers LDL and is not a statin.
