Small quantities of processed meat such as bacon, sausages or salami can increase the likelihood of dying by a fifth, researchers from Harvard School of Medicine found. Eating steak increases the risk of dying by 12%.

The study found that cutting the amount of red meat in peoples’ diets to 1.5 ounces (42 grams) a day, equivalent to one large steak a week, could prevent almost one in 10 early deaths in men and one in 13 in women.

The scientists said that the government’s current advice that people should eat no more than 2.5 ounces (70 grams) a day, around around the level the average Briton already consumes, was “generous”.

....this is getting me ready for a fat, juicy cheeseburger - w/ a triple order of french fries to counter the effects of the red meat.....

And don't forget the extra large Coke---that'll drive the food police wild.

If it doesn’t bleed after it’s cooked it ain’t fit to eat!

Recommended food by the administration is “soylent green”. Look for it in increasing quantities after ObamaCare is enacted.

It's difficult to avoid them altogether if you ever buy lunch meat

Lunch meat is the worst unhealthiest crap you can eat.

I call Bullsh!t. THis is just propaganda from vegans.

The article did say instead of eating larger quantities of sausage and bacon etc to eat more fish and chicken.

I eat round steak and gravy nearly every night, and have only made it to age 85. If I had eaten only veggies, would I have made it to age 200?

Or would it only seem that long?

And “Alternative Lifestyles” take off more lifespan than smoking.

Eating steak increases the risk of dying by 12%. I always just assumed that the risk of dying was up around 100% no matter what. Who knew?

I must inform my 94 year old mother of this study. I am sure she will want to immediately change her eating habits.
