Bacons linked to cancer

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-16540918

I believe in a balanced diet so as i write this im tucking into my morning bacon batch slathered in Brown Sauce.

brown sauce contains dates which are one of your 5 a day

surely that cancels it out

  • Considering you can get cancer from basically everything now, and they publish the "risks" even if eating something 50 million times a day will increase the risk by .001% for x cancer, I just don't care. I'd rather just be happy rather than living in a saftey bubble.

    Bah, it's just a scare issued by the Sausage Marketing Board. Anyhow, if you don't eat bacon you don't live longer, it just feels like it.

    have you tried Swedish Bacon? and Swedes have no idea what a sausage is.

  • Let's be honest. If you don't eat bacons, you're not really living anyway, are you?

  • Either eat bacons and die young or don't eat bacons and die younger, because face it, how do you live if you take away 70% of all the food you eat?

    if you didn't do half the things they claimed give you cancer, you would end up topping yourself anyway

    so either way, you're f*cked, so you may as well go out having tasted the hog (that's what i call my obvious)

    Statisticians cause cancer.

    And heart disease.
  • A link between eating processed meat, such as bacon or sausages, and pancreatic cancer has been suggested by researchers in Sweden

    is bacon processed meat though? I thought it was a proper cut of meat with nothing added and therefore not 'processed'?

    Sausage could be thought of as processed though.

    Smoked bacon? Does that count as processed?

    Damn fine processing if it is, if you ask me.


    Anyway, statistically breathing air will kill us. Ban air.

    i think they add water to it, so you could probably class that as processed

    Too Right . water is a nasty substance. For example,
    Major component of acid rain
    Contributes to the corrosion of many metals
    May cause electrical failures
    Found in the excised tumors of cancer patients
    Is an Industrial solvent
    A Fire-retardant
    Found in Nuclear power plants as a coolant
    Used in pesticides and even after washing remains are still found on food products

    So be careful
    I'm going to blow the bank on a new build ( within reason ) NOW DONE!!

    With all the Bacons eaten by forumites, i suggest you all go for a prostate exam seeing as thats the form of cancer they recon you'll get, if you don't know how a prostate exam works then watch this - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xHKTE75dgE4

    I don't want to watch the video, but from my understanding the exam is basically butt rape that you pay for? Could get it for free in jail, as well as 3 hots and cot.
