It is recycled baloney that is 40 years old. It’s almost exactly the same reports and junk science as the reports released in 1975. Nitrites in bacon, carcinogens in grilled meats, etc. Of course back then it came out that you would have to eat 200 pounds of bacon a day (I think I could come close), at least 100 pounds of grilled steaks a day. Along with the other reports at the time about cholesterol in eggs killing everyone and many other foods that were popular then, still are today. Like “settled climate science”, these socialist bastards never give up.

Silver Nitrates and Silver Nitrites eaten in huge quantities MIGHT, POSSIBLY, PERHAPS, NOT-CONCLUSIVELY, MAYBE, in SOME CASES, IF EXPOSED TO TOO MUCH processed meats, MIGHT cause Cancer.

Like everything else in this life, moderation is the answer.

If you eat ONLY processed meats at least 3 times a day for 80 years, you might get cancer.

Correlation does not assert causation.

They’re trying to lie with statistics to change your behavior.

This is ancient news. It involves, btw, all “lunchmeat” type stuff, including things like hot dogs, etc.

The culprit is nitrates; that’s the bad news. The good news is that it is said that a glass of orange juice or a high blast of Vitamin C will mitigate the effects.

My two cents.

Most, well alot, of my pork comes from a 300 Blackout.
They are ‘shoot-on-sight’ on my property. Filthy, destructive creatures... but sure make for some good eating.

Then why are we living to 90?

Our millions of old folks were all meat and potato folks.

Hell, we had apples baked in our coal furnace when I was a kid. Had meat every day except Friday. Vegetables every day and bread and butter and WHOLE milk. Very little fruit available.

I have a good recipe to enjoy tofu on the grill.

Open the tofu.
Throw it on the ground.
Watch dog sniff and pee on it.
Slap porterhouse on the grill.

mmmgood.
