One of my grandmothers was born to a German immigrant farmer, so she naturally consumed those three deadly carcinogens to excess, and to make matters worse, she also ate cholesterol-laden eggs and cooked with lard. LOTS AND LOTS of lard... she was known to make lard sandwiches. That damned food took her before her time.
(A month shy of her 99th birthday.)
I stand in error... my grandma was a month shy of 100 when she passed away due to bacon, sausage, alcohol, eggs and lard.
What a blessing.
I had an aunt who ate a fried egg and bacon EVERY morning. She’d been doing so, for as long as she could remember. She lived to be 92.
My grandma, too. Married into a German farm family. They raised a lot of hogs and ate everything but the squeal. As a little girl, my mom’s job on butchering day was to pick blood vessels out of the pig brains before they were fried up. Can you imagine — cholesterol, breaded and deep-fried. Grandma started drinking black coffee almost before she could walk. Died young at 97.
