Cancer from bacon
 

A quick warning for everyone, the WHO has published a report today saying that consumption of processed meats increases the risk of colorectal cancer. They also said that based on "limited evidence", red meat is "probably carcinogenic". So put down that sausage and bacon folks. And stay away from pork, veal, goat, beef , lamb, rabbit, switch to tofu instead.

Are these the same folks that said eggs are bad for you due to cholesterol and then, after depriving generations of good nutritious eggs and other cholesterol rich foods, said a couple months ago that actually the cholesterol you ingest has little no effect on cholesterol levels in the blood? Or are they the folks that created generations of people allergic to peanuts by recommending that peanuts be excluded from children's diet, only to find out that guess what, feeding peanuts to children actually prevents them from developing peanut allergies? Just wondering :bigthink:

I think if you eat any thing it will kill you Lol

My Dad ate 2 fried eggs, 4 strips of of bacon, and buttered toast for breakfast every day of his adult life. That was about 69 years. He did die of cancer at 79 but it was the 2 packs of unfiltered Pall Malls he smoked every day. His cholesterol was fine too.

Yep, I smoke, I drink, I eat Bacon, I eat steak and I don't give a crap what the government says. :BB&YS:

I figure the large majority of us will die either from cancer or a heart attack. I plan to enjoy myself till then. :beerchug: Live On....

X2:beerchug:

Amen brother, eat as you please.

x3 And then drink some more:beerchug:

Bacon causes cancer? Too bad, guess I'll have to deal with it.

Life = Nobody get's out alive! Might as well enjoy the bacon!

I really feel like there's some sort of giant social experiment going on. There's a giant push towards globalization, removal of national identity and cultural uniformization. There's another giant push towards gender uniformization. There's another push towards demonizing one's ability for self defense. And now a push towards the radical alteration of diet. Human beings have for thousands of years lived in families and tribes cultivating plants, raising animals and feeding their families on a piece of land that they own and protect. We are now told that all that is wrong, and that we should be these huge herds of vegetarian creatures of no cultural diversity that should just trust the watchers to protect and tell us what's best for us. What's right is now wrong and what's wrong is now right.

I still have 40-50 years to go and I worry about the way things are going.

:BB&YS:

Give me bacon, give me steak, and give me my cold refreshing beer, wine, etc. Only thing I don't do is smoke. I quit that years ago and switched to vapeing.

That being said, Sam I didn't know you smoked! I pictured you as more of a cigar kinda guy :biggrin2:

You know, water is very dangerous, everyone who has ever had a drink has died... and air is just as bad too...

Good grief, the human animal was designed to eat meat, and plants. Just because someone gives you a piece of paper and some money for research does not mean you know everything. How many of the worlds predators die of cancer?

Idiots.

You are what you eat. I'm a bunch of fat and flesh. :biggrin2:
My great grandmother died at the age of 100, her son, my grandfather died at the age of 89, and my father still works nine hours a day, six days a week at the age of 76.
They all ate/eat red meat, beacon, have a little adult beverage daily, everything that today they say will kill you. And a couple of them it did, eventually, but I'm pretty sure it wasn't from what they ate.
I'm more afraid of all the crap bought in a store with preservatives added, which it seems is almost everything... Look back on the old folks who lived off the land so to speak, there wasn't any of this crap to deal with like there is now days.
Everybody's taking a pill for this or that, no one has an immune system any more, kids can't eat dirt like they used to because their in the house all the time... I'm sure next week the government will come up with something else.:BlahBlah: Sorry guys, got off track for a moment there:bigthink:

Mine too! Except it was camel non-filters and asbestos! I have a buddy that drinks a beer everyday for breakfast, and in the 20+ yrs I have known him I dont think I can remember him having as much as a sniffle! Or hangover...

Yeah, I found out I'm allergic to doughnuts, they make me break out in fat:biggrin2:

My problem with doughnuts is that I can never tell whether to dunk my doughnut in my coffee mug or dunk my coffee mug in my doughnut since they are the same surface...:bigthink:

I couldn't have said it better! :beerchug: I have to say that the last time I listened to what the Government said was best for me was when Cheater Clinton was elected... been down hill since then!

Live, laugh and love... that's what works for me! :beer2:

Well today IS one day closer to death no matter what you do....So, have a fine cigar!!!

Eat, drink and be merry, if you live you die.

Had Bacon and eggs for BF, then a Bacon burger for lunch. Now it's Scotch time. Screw the Government. :biggrin2: :beerchug:

:beerchug: I love you man, LOL!!!!!!

Geeeeez, maybe I should start grazing in my back yard?

Nik,

Had B&E again this AM and I'm still around. :biggrin2: Now I'm gonna drink Scotch and smoke. If it all works out I'll let you guys know, if you don't hear back from me you'll know it went bad.

Won't be long now before there's another checkbox on your life and health insurance forms for "Do you eat sausage, bacon, beef, pork or any other kind of red meat" next to the "Are you a smoker" check box. And then you'll be forced to either give up your morals and lie, give up your way of life and start grazing or give up your hard earned cash for increased premiums. :bash:

You're on the right track there!

Sam,

You are my hero!! :beerchug::beerchug::biggrin2::biggrin2:

And I ate bacon this morning too!

I agree.... screw the government!!:beerchug:

:American Flag 1:

Guess it worked out OK, I'm still around, had B&E again this AM, it's cocktail hour so time for some Scotch and a smoke. I'll check in tomorrow if I'm still kicking. :biggrin2: :beerchug: we need a smiley guy smoking.

I have a t shirt that says "Hey vegetarian, my food poops on your food'. and shows a deer doing just that.

Remember none of us will get out of this alive and I would hate to be laying in the hospital dying of nothing at all, but dying nonetheless.

I am on the same diet Sam, but I drink single malt scotch. I hear it kills you slower. :biggrin2::beerchug:
