Ham, bacon and sausages is as carcinogenic as asbestos, alcohol, arsenic and tobacco and is in the same catagory as plutonium according to WHO.

Is there nothing that is safe to eat or are these organisations taking the ****?

Processed meats - cancer
Sugar - obesity related diseases
Dairy produce - heart disease, obesity
Alcholol - drunkeness
Wheat/flour - celiac disease
Fizzy drinks - can cause calcium dificiency and osteoporosis, tooth decay
Anything fried - heart disease
Artificual sweeteners - neurotoxins that can cause brain tumours
Food colourings - attention deficit disorders
Farmed fish/tuna - mercury poisoning
Salt - heart disease
Farmed fruit and veg - stomach cancer (from fertilisers)
etc
etc

This list is by no means exhaustive. What's the alternative? Obviously all consumed in moderation *should* be harmless.

Don't eat or drink anything..... its the only way to be sure....


Oh wait

You could go vegan and die a miserable c*nt. Or eat and drink whatever you want. And enjoy life to the full, at the end of the day you will die FACT why be miserable waiting on that day.

Here in Zim
Grow your own veg and chickens and maize, cook without drowning in sunflower oil,preferably,or washed down with pints of coka cola

50kg sac pearlenta, out of growing season 50quid. Lasts a month


Very little pesticides used, it's labour intensive though and bit boring

Just eat a balanced diet icluding plenty of fresh fruit and vegetables and don't over do the alcohol.

Didn't someone claim oxygen was carcinogenic?

I enjoyed my sausage and bacon cob yesterday morning very much, not sure i'll have one today. may have bacon and egg,,,,,,

The WHO can go and do one as far as I'm concerned. I won't be substituting my bacon sandwich for salad any time soon.

surely this is all to do with moderation and having a balanced diet?

I cant see that having a bacon sandwich every now and again is going to hurt

Can someone explain to me how bacon is classed as a processed food? I know they pump water, sugar etc for preservatives but thats different from being processed like sausages?

Tidgy

they specificly mentioend smoking i think.

Not all bacon is smoked (I doubt for example whether smoked fish was on their list of cancer-causing foods, probably the exact opposite if it's done without artificial additives). The main thing that qualifies bacon as processed is the fact it's salt-cured.

Tidgy

i agree mate, its extremely subjective and unless the subjects only ate process foods then how can you be sure?

There's a big difference between a proper butchers sausage and, for example, a mcdonalds breakfast sausage.

I think it's safer if I avoid water and carry on with the kestrel super

My Gran passed away from cancer, smoked until she was 40, hardly ever drank alcohol, watched what she ate.

My nan passed away from cancer, never smoked, never drank, always watched what she ate.

My Dad passed away from cancer, did what the **** he likes. Smoked like an Iraqi oil well, drank like a fish. Ate red meat and bacon sandwiches every day.

See a pattern? Do what you like, we all die anyway...

Whilst I'm breathing the fumes from buses HGVs and cars that blatantly have defective or bypassed emission control systems (no/damaged DPF, adblu system bypassed/defective etc). I'm probably going to get cancer anyway assuming something else doesn't kill me first.

What's the odd bacon sarnie going to do? I'm not eating it all the time and can moderate it, unlike what I'm breathing.

Who pays these boffin's wages at the "WHO"? It all sound like some self-serving organisation which spouts out a load of politically correct diatribe but has no power or ability to do anything further....much like the UN who constantly say "please think of the migrants" yet never provides any workable solution or has any power to do anything.

oxygen is certainly very volatile and toxic to things that have not evolved to adapt to it

it is also extremely combustible

it is what rots food, turns iron into a pile of rust

in fact, interestedly, if you combine two of the most combustible elements in the universe i.e. hydrogen (rocket fuel) and Oxygen - you get one of the least combustable

amazing world we live in

I'm pretty sure most physicists would disagree with that statement.

hodgy0_2

yes, I did not mean to suggest that it, itself is flammable

I meant to say that it is required for combustion

Tomorrow I am going to buy some white cap lard some square slice sausage, eggs, black pudding, bacon and soda bread and semi deep fry the lot in lard. My grand parents lived on this and lived to their 90s my mums and aunts in their 80s still eat this. If you can't live no point dying. Just fade away and die of f*ck all.

The wife's nannan was 92, she cooked with lard and always had bread and drippin sandwiches.

My grandma was 84 and used to brush her teeth with coal. She only had 1 false tooth (was knocked out in an accident) and didn't have any fillings

I don't see the point in living if we're not going to enjoy some of the simple pleasures this world has to offer such as a bacon or sausage sandwich, why people go through life denying themselves such delights is beyond me, i was a non meat eater for 6 years during and after the beef crisis, having discovered how many chemicals etc entered the food chain, but bacon butties and in particular my aunts roast lamb got me back into meat. Life is too short to spend it worrying about how and when one will meet ones maker.

It seems there is a challenge to this claim from a local producer, as the methods used to process and produce sausages and meats in Europe, is different from that used in the UK. Something to do with nitrates which turn the meat pink. Read this morning the evidence has been presented to the WHO to clarify their statement, failing to do so will see it taken through legal process.

The thing about life is that none of us are getting out alive - do what makes you happy and enjoy it.
