Bacon causes cancer

Meanwhile, it said red meats were "probably carcinogenic"

That's a quote from the article you posted and based on that alone I would not reduce my red meat intake. "Probably carcinogenic" means nothing.

As for processed meats, the article (and many other floating around) has evidence to suggest that 'processed' meats are carcinogenic. Processed being the term used for any product including preservatives to increase shelf life. It's the term 'processed' that people need help understanding. For instance you could go to your local butcher and purchase sausages and burgers, but would you class them as processed? I know first hand my local butcher just minces or grinds the meat, adds onions and a binding agent, then sells them. That's no different to just eating a steak and onions.

Using your brain and common sense you can judge for yourself what items in your local supermarket are probably deemed 'carcinogenic', with packets of cold sandwich meat being brilliant examples.

EDIT: Oh, and basically ALL McDonalds products are basically extremely dangerous to your health.

Don't use ATS search. Post your search question at Google/ATS. They will all come up there, not on ATS.

You're kinda new so....FYI!

Lies, its all lies. (crunches on a handful of bacon and downing it with maple syrup)

Good tip! Thanks!

Incidentally, I didn't mean to offend ATS users who do, as has been said, worship their bacon. I also prostrate myself at the Throne of Pork.

The wording is typical vegan trash. Water will kill ya blood is toxic who cares everyone dies in the end.

The worlds a pretty miserable place as it is, so why not just enjoy bacon, get that early exit... win, win...

Thats just...greasy.

Ah,it's probably a bacon hit piece. Next week: "Bacon doesn't cause cancer" This coming from a vegetarian.

Around the first time I seen this article one was also going around about "chocolate causes cancer"
How dare the news!

These studies generally aren't worth the paper they're written on , next year red meat will be found to cut the risk of Cancer.
Some scientists just need something to do so public health scare research is always a good one.

Everything in moderation.

Oh hell no I negate this effect with tea and spices. Nobody is messing with my bacon egg and cheese burger.

Damn looks like alot of people are getting cancer from eating meat!
Luckly I dont, never have and never will eat meat. . . .

Its report said 50g of processed meat a day - less than two slices of bacon - increased the chance of developing colorectal cancer by 18%.

Perhaps they were doing something unspeakable with the bacon? Notice it doesn't say eating bacon causes colorectal cancer!

Damn......

Now I have to go cook some bacon and eat it.

Curse you bacon thread!

Moderation????

Bacon in moderation?????

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Okay, they state that 50g of processed meat per day increases your chance of developing bowel cancer by 18%.

Apparently the average consumption of processed meat per day in the U.K is 17g.

Scaremongering at its finest? Or are they just trolling us?
