The lie is that bacon is not “processed” meat.

You take a pork belly and smoke it.

The marinade and salting could introduce unhealthy elements, but those are optional.

I was thinking it was a slice................But who eats ONE slice of bacon?...................

[I want the USA back]

BS. Did they actually find a thousand people or so who actually ate that every day? Over a period of how long? EVERY DAY? Is there ONE person in the universe who eats that much bacon EVERY DAY?
BS.

We rarely have bacon. I don’t like the clean up after the mess.

Try cooking it in the oven. Lay out flat on a sheet pan and bake at 350 until desired crispiness. No mess at all. Pour the fat off and keep it. One teaspoon added to a can of green beans when you warm them is heavenly.

" findings showed eating 25g of processed meat — the equivalent of one bacon rasher — raises the risk of dementia by 44 per cent...Sufferers also tended to be men, smokers, overweight, less educated and ate more junk food and less fruit and vegetables...This is a first step. We’re not confirming anything here; we’re generating a hypothesis."

There's a whole lot more conjecture here, it seems, than data. For starters, there are a whole lot more ways of 'processing' than just one. Much of the processing today is injecting chemicals rather than old fashioned smoking. I happen to like the old fashioned type far better than the chemical ones. What are the chemicals? Which is worse? How did they separate just the 'processing' from the other factors? How did they separate bacon from the other factors? Etc.

Is this the same chinee researcher who said that one egg yolk could reduce your life span by 3% or some stupid thing like that?

What is a rasher?

They way they fix bacon in the island one slice is enough to lube you for the rest of your life. Dripping with grease as with most things on the English Cooked Breakfast.

Even tofurky bacon?

[Sacajaweau]

And they're saying just one piece of bacon every day. Ever heard of people eating just one slice (rasher) of bacon every day??

Just another dumb "government financed"....What do you want for an answer....survey.

[deport]

processed meats such as bacon

********

Thus other meats are included also as I read the info. It doesn’t
speak to them through.

Thanks! So, it can be a thin slice or 3-4 slices. That’s not much. Most people down here seem to like a pound at a time. :-) I rarely eat bacon but if I do it’s a slice.

I learned something.
