What a load of horse manure.

I've been eating bacon for decades and I'm sharp as a tack.

Suddenly, EVERYTHING causes dementia. If this were true, every single older person in this country would have dementia. They don’t.

Some things are worth dementia. I’m never giving up bacon.

What was that again?

Joe Biden ate bacon?

Not buying into the meat lie…..just one look into my mouth shows a few canine teeth, used often by me to tear the meat off of the bones….isn’t God Great?

I had bacon with my breakfast today - which I do not normally do.
But I feel smarter already!

[AmericanMermaid]

They’re a day late and a dollar short with me on this. Lol!

Based on the amount of bacon I eat, I will forget this article by the end of the day..

Blah, blah, blah! 🙄

Each daily serving of processed meat was associated with about 1.6 years of accelerated brain aging in cognitive function tests

Wow. So if I have a daily serving for one year, my brain will have aged 584.4 years!

(1.6 x 365.25 = 584.4)

Man was “ wired” with certain uncontrollable reactions…..ever hold a Gold bar? Wow, the weight, the heft, the color, the hue, the sense of wealth…..the smell of bacon, automatic mouth watering,….

Most studies are bogus.

[JayGalt]

Another stupid study. The population studied cannot be controlled to just discriminate on one variable ie bacon. This kind of study is like spitballing. Who knows what other variables enunciated or silent correlate with their bacon group?

BIG TIME BS! Just last night I had bacon wrapped jalapenos stuffed with cream cheese and Trump Meritage wine to celebrate yesterday!

Ok so did all the contestants/participants or whatever have the exact same diets daily, same exercise or non exercise routines, same lifestyle,choices (like sedentary, or active, or yoga, or whatever?

Is it possible that the bacon eating folks perhaps didn’t exercise as much as tofu eating weirdos? Or maybe the bacon eaters drank more soda, or more beer, or more unfiltered water or whatever?

I would think that in order to assess higher or lower risk, ALL variables would need to be the same to rule out any outside influences on outcomes?

I’ll take my chances.
