WHO: Processed meat linked to cancer; red meat is risky too
San Jose Mercury ^ | 10/26/2015

It's official: Ham, sausage and other processed meats can lead to colon, stomach and other cancers -- and red meat is probably cancer-causing, too.

My grandmother was 94.
One of my last memories of her was her eating a fatback sandwich with a glass of buttermilk with a dip of snuff in her mouth.

I imagine you could find several studies like that right now.

Everything is linked to cancer & heart disease. If you live long enough you will either get cancer or die of a heart attack. That is if you don’t die from an accident first.

One of the oldest people I have ever known died in a car accident. The woman was close to or over 100, lived alone and walked daily to the store or church. On her way back from the store one day, she was struck by a car. I believe that if she had not died in that car accident she would have lived another 100 years.

BINGO! WE HAVE BINGO!

We must make sure we are “culturally sensitive” to our new arrivals from the head-chopping community.

Soon we shall bow with our @$$es in the air to take our just medicine as infidels.

Any resistance will be seen as racist/islamiphopic/ enter your offended party here...../ and will be punished by those we employee to run our government.

It never ends....until we end it.

jmho.

Oh man, I have just noticed I swallow saliva all the time. Most of it my own!

That is just gross.

It may surprise you to learn that the vast majority of nitrate/nitrite exposure comes not from food, but from endogenous sources within the body. (1) In fact, nitrites are produced by your own body in greater amounts than can be obtained from food, and salivary nitrite accounts for 70-90% of our total nitrite exposure. In other words, your spit contains far more nitrites than anything you could ever eat.

When it comes to food, vegetables are the primary source of nitrites. On average, about 93% of nitrites we get from food come from vegetables. It may shock you to learn that one serving of arugula, two servings of butter lettuce, and four servings of celery or beets all have more nitrite than 467 hot dogs. (2) And your own saliva has more nitrites than all of them! So before you eliminate cured meats from your diet, you might want to address your celery intake.

The research was done by the same ones who researched global warming, for sure.

But if pork is banned, won’t the entire swine genus and all its various species have to be wiped out?

Oh, the damage to diversity! It is well known that body parts of swine have been successfully transplanted to humans, whatever shall we do without this vital resource?

Actually wiping out swine entirely would be a much more difficult job than first imagined, because this highly intelligent animal is also very adaptable and is a cunning creature, perhaps more dangerous than a bear when directly confronted. And they reproduce very prolifically, up to a dozen offspring in a litter, and capable of producing two litters a year, sexually mature at about six months of age, and capable of producing young until past ten years of age.

Very few swine die of old age. Violent death is their lot in life.

Prior to Cattle there where huge mega fauna like hundreds of millions of Bison, Mastodons and assorted monster sized animals. Prior to that there where hundreds of millions of house sized Dinosaurs.

The Earth is cleaner and less polluted than at almost any time in many centuries.

The Earth is much more resilient than we are and will shake us off without much issue.

That is what I always say. If everything is going to kill us, why doesn’t anyone die! It seems that everyone is living into extended old age.

We have conquered a vast majority of the things that caused early deaths. We have eliminated most water born diseases like Dysentery. We have stopped killers like Polio, measles, rubella, small pox, diphtheria, and hundreds of other early killers, 200 years ago tonsillitis killed thousands a year. Now no one dies from it.

Things are so good these days people have to make up things to fear! After all the only thing we have to fear is Democrats as they are the cause of most of humanities problems!

Tuesday is Soylent Green Day! It is only Monday. Monday is not Soylent Green day.

‘The supply of Soylent Green has been exhausted. Please disperse. The scoops are coming!’

‘Governor Santini is brought to you today by Soylent Red, and Soylent Yellow. And, new, delicious, Soylent Green: The “miracle food” of high energy plankton, gathered from the oceans of the world. Due to its enormous popularity, Soylent Green is in short supply, so remember—Tuesday is Soylent Green day.’

My now 103 year old second cousin, on the occasion of her 100th birthday, was quoted in their local paper as saying that she attributed her longevity to eating meat products every day. A local cattle growers group picked up the comments and it received a lot of buzz and comment on social media sites.

My dear aunt lived to be 90, and she ate bacon and eggs every morning ;-)
