Bacon Dilemma

Studies on cancer have found that 90% of studies on cancer can cause cancer.

Feck off!

You hardly need a scientist to tell you that.

Everything causes cancer, just enjoy your life for christ sake.

/puts bacon on grill, while lighting a smoke off it.

Its comical that the word "scientists" is ever used to argue/prove anything!
Who are these scientists and are they accountable?

I'd imagine people who eat bacon sangers every day partake in other unhealthy things that contribute to the ol' cancer.

Has that been considered in the research?

thats a bit bacist tbh

There really is no dilemma here at all, eat the bacon. they will be telling you next week it's good for you.

To be fair, the word "scientists" isn't used in the article.

I'd guess this research was more than likely carried out, as it usually is in these cases, by "boffins".

Does anyone remember the rashers with thick hairs on the rind and bits of bone chunks at the top or at the end? Kind of put me off rashers for life.

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.

For people consuming double this amount of processed meat (100g), the increased risk jumps to 38%, and is 57% for those eating 150g a day.

The latest study, published in the British Journal of Cancer, is from researchers at the respected Karolinska Institute in Stockholm, Sweden.

They examined data from 11 studies, including 6,643 cases of pancreatic cancer.

They found inconclusive evidence on the risks of eating red meat overall compared to eating no red meat.

They found a 29% increase in pancreatic cancer risk for men eating 120g per day of red meat but no increased risk among women.

This may be because men in the study tended to eat more red meat than women.

They concluded: “Findings from this meta-analysis indicate that processed meat consumption is positively associated with pancreatic cancer risk.

“Red meat consumption was associated with an increased risk of pancreatic cancer in men.

“Further prospective studies are needed to confirm these findings.”

The study adds to understanding about the risk factors for developing pancreatic cancer.

Statistics no-one really understands them,

OK Boardies brace yourself to be educated

The population as a whole has a 5% chance of getting pancreatic cancer.
So if I eat a lot of processeed meat which I do according to that article I increase my chances of getting pancreatic cancer by 19%.

So 19% of 5% is 1%

So I now have a risk of 1% over the general population in other words I now have a 6% chance of getting P cancer.

Which is an acceptable risk to me who loves to eat processed meat, mainly bacon.

So now you can rest well.

Cool. So if 100% of population ate bacon morning noon and night only 6% would develop C?

But don't do it to often.

I've never understood the whole hangover cure thing when it comes to fry-ups. I love fry ups and a good feed of drink but the last thing I want to see the next morning is a load of food. I've never eaten a fry-up while hungover. It would probably come out as fast as it went in.

hence 'cure'
