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 think what they call a rasher, we call an elevator. So, yeah, if I ever came across an elevator full of bacon, I’d lose my mind. I’d get in, hit the “stop” button and nobody would ever hear from me again.

Did they conclude this before or after the study? Sounds like Global Warming.

Time out. Serious question:

Why are bacon threads the very best threads?

Follow-up question:

Do you think the moslems are behind this anti-bacon racism?

The next study will find that eating a rasher of bacon will increase your life by 500 years. They may be dog years, but 500 years is 500 years.

The secret is to eat bacon WITH EGGS. Then you’ll be good. Or...on a hamburger. Or....with cheese. Or....to simply eat MORE bacon than a mere one strip a day.

With a range of electric smokers out there the process of making your own bacon is fairly easy. BTW, the smoked brisket we had for supper last night was scrumptious!

I had to look it up - never heard that term:

A rasher of bacon is a thin slice of bacon, and a rasher of ham is a thin slice of ham. It originally seems to have referred to one slice of meat, but it can also mean two or three slices of fried bacon for breakfast as in “Some fried eggs and a rasher of bacon.”
