Everything can and will kill you.

Wait a month or two, the study will be dismissed.

Red wine good, red wine bad, coffee good, coffee bad....

Next weeks headline, Bacon is good for you.

lies... all lies!!!

Meanwhile. Jesus eats milk and meat together with no problem.

Look the Jewish agenda must stop.

I doubt it's that the bacon/sausage is causing it, it's just showing that people whose lifestyles include eating tons of processed meat are the ones with a higher chance of getting it. That being said, it's a good thing I don't eat rashers, I just get them from unclean women.

Hey, sewer rat may taste like pumpkin pie, but I'd never know 'cause I wouldn't eat the filthy motherfarker. Pigs sleep and root in shiat. That's a filthy animal. I ain't eat nothin' that ain't got sense enough to disregard its own feces.

I consider myself a bacon enthusiast, and received several bacon themed gifts for Christmas. So others seem to agree.

I'm not sure what a 'rasher' is but they compare two of them to a sausage. *Every day*.

I probably eat more than two rashers in a serving of bacon, but having some every single day seems excessive and I'm not surprised can lead to health problems.

I've never eaten a "rasher" of anything, so I guess I'm safe.

NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Eating two rashers of bacon a day can increase the risk of pancreatic cancer by 19% and the risk goes up if a person eats more, experts have said.

Eating 50g of processed meat every day - the equivalent to one sausage or two rashers of bacon - increases the risk by 19%, compared to people who do not eat processed meat at all.

There's the clue...

And no mention of nitrates? Bad researchers, bad! *whack with rolled up newspaper*

Bacon is Ambrosia, IMO.

I'll chop an onion, a "bunch" of broccoli, carrots, 1/4lb of bacon together in a pan and then add a bulb's worth of garlic cloves, and throw in a 300 degree oven for 35 minutes or so.

Asparagus-bacon sushi. Bundle asparagus, wrap in bacon, secure with toothpics, slice into rounds between bacon slices. Roast in 300 degrees until bacon reaches desired doneness. One can also do this with the "Cajun Trinity" (strips of onion, bell pepper and celery), then sprinkle some Tony Chachere's over the top before roasting. NOM NOM NOM!!!

I figure the vegetables cancel out whatever harmful effect bacon has, even if that effect is imagined by overpaid scientists in a far off land.

I guess these guys are in trouble then.

Huh?

Hmm... and here I thought it was healthy.

In other news, experts have determined that life is fatal. Records indicate that the mortality rate of those suffering with life is 100%. "Clearly the FDA needs to ban life," says Dr. Gulbert Snark of the U.S. Institute of Unacceptable Dillybobs, Thingamajigs and Doohickeys. "We've never seen a more deadly substance than this life. It is truly frightening how it takes hold of its victims. They can't seem to get enough of it. So it is also very addictive. The public must be warned to avoid life at all cost."

namatad:
so um is there nitrate free bacon?


Yes. We buy ours at Trader Joe's. No taste difference as far as I can tell.

Please. Steve Jobs was a vegan and he died of pancreatic cancer. Therefore, bacon does not cause pancreatic cancer. QED.

...these supposedly "natural" or "organic" products sometimes contain twice as much sodium nitrate, even up to a whopping ten times as much sodium nitrate, as conventional products...

Source: about.com: Facts about sodium nitrate and sodium nitrite

The stuff we buy is not labeled "organic" or "natural", but labeled "nitrate and nitrite free."

Ok, we fell for the marketing hype and bought it anyway. Unlike the author of the article, I do not have the time to smoke and cure my own meats.

I will continue to eat my "cured only with celery salt, which naturally contains nitrates, and sounds a whole lot healthier to me, but what do I know, I fell for the marketing hype" bacon from Trader Joe's.
