Every time you reach for a coke, you could be losing 12 minutes of your life, scientists have claimed.
The worrying statistics were found in a study conducted by the University of Michigan which delved into just how much time certain processed foods take from your life.
Ultra-processed foods – which contain ingredients such as artificial colours and flavours, preservatives and emulsifiers – can be dangerous if not eaten in moderation.
And some favourites could end up costing you minutes of your life. A hot dog could shave off 36 minutes – and if you drink it with a coke, that’s another 12 minutes gone......
Which foods could shorten your life?
Hot dog – 36 minutes
Breakfast sandwich – 13 minutes
Eggs – 13 minutes
Coke – 12 minutes
Cheeseburgers – 9 minutes
Bacon – 6 minutes

I should have died in 1997.
So far so good.
Why eggs?
Eggs?
What wonderful science!
Every time I eat a Payday candy bar, another Direct Deposit goes into my bank account!
Then I get an O’Henry candy bar and marry an heiress!
She has a quirky fashion error, though....

Hmmm, I drank little other than Diet Coke or Coke Zero for about 45 years. Then about 4-5 years ago I decided to cancel all my enemies from my wallet. That included Woca Cola. So I switched to sugar free lemonade and flavored water. I haven’t had a single soft drink since. I don’t really miss it. I also smoked for about 20 years before quitting about 15 years ago.
I wonder if the risk persists if you quit. Everything I read about smoking is if you quit and stay off of the cigarettes, the harmful health effects drop to almost nothing (assuming you haven’t done great harm to yourself already).
Believing and voting for irrational anti-Christ liberals shaves off more minutes off the nations life than any food.
More health BS with absolutely no data to back it up.
I think I lost 12 minutes of my life by reading this article.
I drink a can of Coke in about 3 minutes, so I only lose 3 minutes.
Not eating aka starving to death can also remove years, which are composed of minutes, from your life. I prefer to eat and I try not to over-indulge as it is what is really unhealthy. My grandmother died at age 96 years. She loved Pepsi and hot dogs. Did she over indulge in consuming either? No, though she may have drank 6-8oz of Pepsi most days and perhaps 2-3 hot dogs per month. She also ate lots of fresh veggies, all boiled and over cooked. The only thing I think that she didn’t eat much of was cheese. She liked feta on her weekly salad along with a weekly, usually plain-cheese pub-style pizza. She didn’t smoke and seldom drank alcohol. There is much more I could write about her which seems contrary to this study.
CICO
Crap In, Crap Out...
I wonder how much of our tax money was wasted on these morons playing “scientist”...
Scientists also said the jab is safe and effective. Man causes global warming etc. Scientists have become prostitutes for the left.
Yeah, me too. Perhaps 20 years or more.
Send something that works sooner.
Same with eggs.
I am losing about an hour a day from Coke, and eat 3 eggs a day usually with cheese. I am losing a day every month.!! I think I’ll go with Christs statement, that you cannot add time to your life. Your death is ordained, ALL born will die, in their time.
