    Don't fear the bacon...

    A big report came out recently indicating that bacon (and bologna, and hot dogs) are somewhat carcinogenic.

    However, compared to other stuff that we mess with every day, not THAT carcinogenic:

    4 Common Carcinogens That Put Bacon In Perspective
    Air pollution and alcohol are also linked to cancer.


    Come on baby
    (Don't fear the bacon)
    Baby take my ham
    (Don't fear the bacon)
    We'll be able to fry
    (Don't fear the bacon)
    Baby I'm your short order cook

    Seems everything is linked to cancer these days. I've never eaten pork or pork products but I doubts its actually that bad. Whats next? Don't breathe its bad for your lungs?

        and yet again...


        ...sola dosis facit venenum

        I'm gonna get that as a tattoo.

        If you eat bacon in the amount that is suggested in the studies (and you are reasonably informed about nutrition), you deserve whatever happens to you...I mean really, more than one serving of processed meat every day? How can anyone one find that even remotely healthy?

        I love bacon...in moderation, very occasionally.



        The thing, though, to remember is that synergistic effects can increase the risk factor in multiplicative ways (for example, the risk to asbestos workers that smoke is worse than that of the risk of smoking AND the risk of asbestosis). We have no idea what those ways are yet, so...if you know that a daily bacon ration is just as bad as a pack a day habit, and can cut both of those out, the chance then for something like getting cancer from working outside all day might decrease.

          Unless you live in New York, Utah, Colorado, or some other place that has a high ambient radiation level.

          LOL - I can smoke a pack a day in Northern Michigan and still have less cancer risk than a nonsmoker in the Colorado highlands...

          P.S. - I rarely eat bacon (a lot of cash for a strip of fat), but I eat a lot of smoked food, which is bad for me...

              It is if you're a Londoner! We have some of the worst air in Europe, which is why the bus fleet is converting to electric/diesel hybrids.

              Actually, the food information has been out there for years. If you gorge on preservatives and red meat, it's unhealthy, but a little bit of what you fancy will have a negligible effect. I had venison on Monday and Tuesday, and that was my meat for the week: let's hope I survive. At least chocolate is safe!

                  Actually wasn't there a news story recently about how there will be a chocolate shortage?
