Who has the chicken little with the tin foil hat?

Edit to add: I'll eat my bacon and die happily of cancer in my 80s...

Get on the GMO wagon, there's still plenty of room!

Most people are going to stop reading that article at "bacon".

In for the later fighting.

Also: breasts cause cancer. Just ask Angelina Jolie. :yawn:

Breast cancer gene means 87% chance of developing breast cancer. No natural breast tissue = no chance of breast cancer (which can metastasize into deadlier forms). I have an aunt who did the same thing.

Life causes cancer ...

I heard the same thing about cigarettes a couple weeks ago.. I won't believe it until I experience it.. :smokin:

That article is intellectually dishonest.

Don't you find it surprising that they don't provide a link to the "review" performed by the WCRF? (a very respectable UK charity unlike that blog)

The suggestion is that processed meat increases the risk of bowel cancer (not all forms of cancer). If people are concerned with this risk of cancer they can consider some proper advice from the WCRF found here which suggests avoiding / minimising processed meats if at all possible:

There is a recent study that found a correlation between eating processed meat and a slightly higher death rate from all causes. The more interesting point to that study was that it found no significant correlation between red meat consumption and a higher death rate from all causes. If someone doesn't have it available now, I'll dig around and find it after I run some errands this morning. Two very important points though, (1) correlation does not equal causation, and (2) bacon.

Edited to note that the article referenced in the OP is an inflammatory piece of propaganda, not science.

Vine of Life? I'm assuming this is going to be a Pro Vegetarian, Anti Meat website. Sounds non-biased to me! Can we get some solid concrete proven evidence? I'm saying this as a long term veggie.

If I stopped eating everything that some fear mongerer said caused cancer, I would have nothing left to eat and would starve.

Whilst I thought the article was well, a bit rubbish, I think being aware of these things is a good thing.

Personally, I do care about living longer and I do care about getting bowel cancer. What do I want?



I want more life...
