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.

diet as a modifiable factor could play a role.”

translated: we need funding for a study.

A curse that contains a blessing. You get to taste the deliciousness of bacon for the first time every day.

My grandpa ate bacon everyday and lived to be 99 years old. Sharp as a tack mentally too.

Forcing meat out of our diets eliminates demand and hence supply of a critical survival source that could feed, clothe, and otherwise provide for people’s survival when the SHTF.

Much like the forcing out of our supply of reliable energy via oil and gas fuels for less reliable, less vulnerable and more easily eliminated supply sources like wind and solar.

It’s all about tyranny.

Bacon rasher? Is that where you you put a few slices in your underwear? Asking for a friend.

Pork Meat bad. Fixed.

[Tennessee Conservative]

Same question. What’s a Rasher? Is it the same as a Southern side-of-bacon or a slab?

[bagster]

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

Bacon has carbs?

Who knew?

Its bad enough that we have outsourced or manufacturing and rare earth production to the ChiComs, now we are doing it with our bogus medical research as well.

I guess even our home grown Marxists thought going after "Big Bacon" was too much ....

LOL!

Thank you for that... Put a big jolly smile on my face.

less vulnerable, should be “more” vulnerable.
