No amount of alcohol, sausage or bacon is safe according to a new global blueprint on how to beat cancer.
Even small amounts of processed meats and booze increase the risk of a host of cancers outlined in World Cancer Research Fund (WCRF) guidelines updated every decade.
The respected global authority has unveiled a 10-point plan to cut your risk of getting cancer by up to 40%.
Brits have been told to banish favourites such as ham, burgers and hot dogs from their diets by experts who say they are a direct cause of bowel cancer.
Processed meats also cause people to be overweight which can trigger many more cancers.

Excellent.
Sounds like the DASH diet- ‘Dietary Approach to Stop Hypertension’
it’s designed to counter hypertension, and reduces risk factors for those with cardiovascular disease, kidney disease.
Good stuff. Try it.
Just clicked while I am having some red wine and defrosting some sausages while my lentils soak.
Gonna sauté some carrots, parsnips, celery and onions over the fire.
I’ll grill the sausages when they thaw out.
Along with some zucchini on my natural gas fired grill.
Time to start the fire in the wood stove to simmer the soup for a while and warm up the house.
“I’m 72. Been eating this stuff all my life! Too late to worry, I guess?”
I had an in-law who lived well into his 90s who was a farmer most of his life. He was a huge man (though not really overweight, just big) and ate a large amount of bacon and eggs every day. He was still throwing bales of hay by himself into his 70s. I recall this because at one family get together some of the men went to “help” him move some bales and it took at least two of them to manage to move a single bale. He was doing it by himself.
I’m not saying processed meats are good for our health, but maybe other factors play a role, such as level of physical activity. Even people who spend several hours each week in the gym can not compete with a farmer who works from sun up to sun set most days.
Alcohol also has a downside but in moderation may help cleanse the brain of toxins and reduce the chances of dementia. I think the most harmful component of alcoholic beverages is probably the sulfites. These can be removed with trace amounts of hydrogen-peroxide.
One of the greatest is problems created by the modern world is experts.
Excellent. :)
Noted.
Or kowtowing to Muslim sensibilities: no alcohol or pork...? Hm.
>>Processed meats also cause people to be overweight which can trigger many more cancers.
There are plenty of fat vegetarian chicks. Obesity isn’t just among those eating meat.
Liberal combinations of all of them killed my Great Uncle Howie - at 93 years of age...
The drink is really good in the same way a good scotch, neat, can be good. i.e. it’s strong and it is an acquired taste. But it’s a good taste to acquire. :)
Aye, Captain. :)
Better stop breathing too! That air isn’t safe anymore you know what with all the big gas guzzling SUV’s and pick-up trucks!
Hae a guid day!
Watch sales go up for these.
So I can’t have my Bloody Mary and bacon and eggs for breakfast? Forget it!
Starvation is worse for you.
