Beef, Pork, Lamb and processed meat now give you cancer.

Amazing how SCIENCE is usually held up as the great proveyor of truth, until it fcuks with the bacon sambo that is, then it's: 'Ah sure what does science know'.

The Veggies have got to Pete!

You're one of them! ONE OF THEM!!!! :eek:

Cancer gives you bacon.

Lucky for me I don't eat red meat, But I wouldn't delve too much into it as everything is linked to cancer even breathing!

I smoke like a train if anything is going to get me its that.


I have a distinct hatred of extremely processed white bread though and blame a lot of things on that.

Humans are dumb, they want studies for everything. If you even mention that something is bad, they want double blind studies showing definitive proof that something is bad. Christ, did anyone really think processed, nitrate filled, reformed "ham" was going to be good for them?

It's staggering the amount of people that believe that slices of ham are actually just sliced off a roast UNprocessed ham when the packet says "crumbed" on it, or "traditional". They think that these products must be the real thing in that case and not reformed at all.

Humans have gone so far away from eating well now it's criminal. I have no problem with people eating whatever the fcuk they want, but please don't feed that crap to your kids, or if your expecting actually, it's poison, literally. How hard is it to buy some fresh meat, salads and vegetables. If you have to have ham, buy one that is free from nitrates and slice it yourself. Don't tell me you can't afford it, as processed ham is ridiculously expensive, not to mention the fact that it's full of water.

We only have to look at our pets and the illnesses and diseases that they have in common with us, to see that what we consume is not healthy. Dogs and cats have tumors, epilepsy, diabetes, autoimmune disorders, asthma, heart disease etc etc etc. They should be our canary in the mine, but no - just as with humans, we spend our a fortune on medicating them and treating their illnesses as we do our own, as pill deficiencies. God forbid we actually spent the same amount of money studying forms of prevention.

Was at a friend's house recently and brought with me some steak for their dog, who hasn't been well with one thing and another. Believe it was put down to allergies by a vet. Asked could I give him some meat I brought, no problem they said but then when they seen it was raw meat, had a nervous breakdown and said I should roast it first. Why says I, only to be told that he prefers that and only really has well cooked meat once a week as the dog has signs of heat disease and so they are cutting back on fatty red meat and only giving him lean well cooked stuff, with crackers :rolleyes: Is it any wonder pets are surcombing to the same disorders and illnesses as us.
There are people out there with "vegan" dogs, that live on processed high carb junk. Whatever happened to common sense when it comes to food. People need to stop looking to "science" to provide studies on what is and isn't safe to eat, use your wholegrain loaf ffs.

Cancer's what you get for living in a country where malaria, HIV/AIDS, childbirth or diarrhea doesn't kill you. In the poorest countries cancer doesn't even make the top ten causes of death.

However, even in medium income countries colon and rectum cancers aren't in the top ten whereas in high income countries that's the seventh most common cause. I'd guess that one of the big lifestyle differences between middle and high income countries is eating lots of red meat and fatty processed foods.

And it's fairly obvious that the human body didn't evolve to eat burgers, steak and chops seven days a week. The link between smoking and cancer was thought by many to be scaremongering or at least a gross over statement when it first emerged, people rarely react well to being told that things they like are bad for them regardless of how true it might be. You'd swear that article was actually saying "don't eat any meat" instead of "cut down on meat".

Define "processed meat"

All meat is processed to a degree unless you catch yourself and eat it raw off the bone

What is in the processing process that is introducing the carcengins
and are different types of processed meats worse than others
Is a chicken burger worse than cooked ham?????!!?!??!

They need to idenitfy what is causing the problem in the process
and reduce it or elimnate it or at least highlight that aspect?.

I am confused ??!!??

They really need to give more infomartion here and do more research

saying avoid processed meats is retarded and counterproductive?

Can I still eat blacking pudding or chicken nuggets?

Lol at how people take these studies so personally - as if the scientists are trying to be mean to you. So many processed foods are absolutely brimming with nasty stuff. I try to avoid them as much as I can, however I'm too lazy not to completely, but it's not scaremongering just because it's not a nice thing to learn about.

My point is what is it the processed meats that is doing the damage

Processed meats defines such a huge range of foods and products that
it's just too broad a title if you want to change behaviour or the processing itself.
