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.

There’s 8 grams in a slice of bacon...not 25.

BS study based upon hashing statistics. Show me the physical/chemical/biological processes involved and what’s going on... oh... you can’t... you just ran through an excel spreadsheet and sliced out bacon eaters (among other things) and diseases they have.

They won’t tell you that people eating Brussels sprouts has a 100% mortality rate try because that isn’t click baity enough nor fits the narrative.

Those are good too. My husband’s cousin owns a meat processing business (slaughterhouse) and we buy uncured bacon from her. It’s a little bland until you get used to it and then it’s good. I’m not much for eating bacon.

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

That is normal scientific language. We use those words because no scientist ever wants to be proven wrong, and we are dealing in areas that are so new that we don't really know all the facts. Science is a process of discovery, and it is always possible that more research will show the initial conclusions to be incorrect.

As for the study in question, I have not read it, but I suspect that it is one of those observational studies in which the input data is highly questionable and heavy statistical calculations were applied to come up with a correlation that merits further study. Very often, the authors of such studies take the correlation and run with it as if it is data derived from controlled testing, when it is not. It is absolutely the worst kind of study for actually gaining new knowledge.

For the record, I have no idea what a bacon "rasher" is. Is it bacon that causes hives?

I’ll save mine for a BLT on Saturday.

Good point. If we have BLTs, we should average it out by having steak and eggs on Sunday. If we don't use such precautions, we might forget when we last had bacon.

I wonder when they are going to do a study about the lack of oxygen due to masks causing dementia.

Because, per FDA mandates, all bacon rashers are exactly the same size.

I’ll bet that every one of those dementia patients also drank water every day.
How do we know it wasn’t he water that caused the dementia?

“I really like bacon. How about one time per week?”

How about they shut their publicly funded mouths, leave us alone and you eat as much bacon as you want.

Law of Life #342: All nutrition studies are agenda driven BS. They do are never clinical studies, there are no controls, they rely on self-reporting of food intake, and they generally are not studying anything in particular and just mine for some loose correlation that will generate a headline or support an agenda.

CLINICAL studies would not be BS. But they don't exist. Because you cannot control what people eat over long periods unless they are prisoners and that's been ruled illegal.
