Bacon, ham and sausages 'as big a cancer threat as smoking', WHO to warn
The Telegraph - UK ^ | 23 Oct 2015 | Agency

Posted on 10/23/2015 8:04:20 AM PDT by amorphous

The World Health Organisation (WHO) will publish a report on Monday on the dangers of eating processed meats.

It is expected to list processed meat as a cancer-causing substance, while fresh red meat is also expected to be regarded as bad for health, the Daily Mail said.

The classifications, by the WHO's International Agency for Research on Cancer, are believed to regard processed meat as "carcinogenic to humans", the highest of five possible rankings, shared with alcohol, asbestos, arsenic and cigarettes.

Alcohol is in there too.

Maybe Mohammed couldn't turn water into wine whereas Jesus certainly did kind of thing?

Bacon makes everything better, even my own mortality!
The only way they take my bacon away is when they pry it from my cold dead fingers.

Cruz/Bacon 2016!

My uncle is 89, and owned a meat processing plant where they make tons of smoked sausage, jerky, breakfast sausage. He probably ate sausage, and smoke rings every day of his life as he worked at the plant since age 9, along side his Dad who founded it. Worked every day until he finally retired at age 87.

He has never had cancer.

Did you know the head of the Sierra Club is a Muslim? They are infiltrating everything, everywhere, IMHO.

For instance fresh pork sausage (not the kind with preservatives) is very low in cholesterol

Makes no difference because there is zero relationship between high [or low] cholesterol food consumption and serum cholesterol.

In weighing the value of this study, you should consider the fact that these same people told us to avoid eggs, shrimp, whole milk, beef, and other foods high in dietary fat and cholesterol for over three decades, and encouraged the consumption of more cereals and grains.

We now know that the body's production of cholesterol is almost entirely a function of carbohydrate metabolism, and the diet they were encouraging at-risk people to eat was EXACTLY the wrong one.

If there was a war on pork, Hillary would not be allowed to run.

Agree, but my point was we don't even know the easily knowable. :-)

Butter is bad...no, butter is good.
Eggs are bad...no...eggs are good.
Meat is bad...no...meat is good.
Ham, etc is bad.....no....(waiting).

Just remember this when those D- science flunkouts (and journalism majors) try to talk about climate.

“I like the idea that you should eat a variety of foods in moderation.”

Agreed. Variety, Moderation & Exercise is all you need to know. But how can you make money or exert any control over people with that advice?

Because to the hand wringers not eating meat is better for the planet and the tasty meats that also repel Islam is the low hanging fruit...
