Who listens to the WHO

None of this is new, that's what gets me. This has been harped on for years, along with dairy products, cholesterol hype. Some people come out with this occasionally along with cross contamination and refrigeration hysteria where you can't leave anything out ten seconds, none of which is new.
Use common sense and moderation don't abuse your body and you will live as long as your genes let you.
The other side of that is you can avoid anything that may be bad for you, and you may live the last five years of your "life" in bed staring at the ceiling because you are to feeble to do anything else. Bah.

 

John Entwistle was the man!

 

Happy Jack wasn't tall but he wasn't fat.

 

The science behind it has been around for years. It's not something that has just been found out.

If facts and science bother you that much just ignore it. If you have insurance your cancer and or your heart attack will be covered, all good.

Or people who don't get their science from a certain conservative noise network or internut blogs.

 

I remember being told Oscar Meyer bolonga caused cancer when I was a kid in the early 80s. Most processed (fake) foods aren't good for you. In other breaking news: Cigarettes aren't good for you, either.

 

That was my reaction. What are they going to tell us next? Smoking is bad for you?

 

No "internut blog" or "conservative noise network" for me!

I get all my science type stuff from enlightened folk like Al Gore and Bono...........

 

Just remember - this was a meta-study, meaning that it was a study of the results of previous studies. That means the study has real limitations, and those limitations are the things that graduate students learn to understand and interpret. The limitations of a study (or of a study technique) are among the most important but least discussed aspects of research.

It is important to understand that this study indicates CORRELATION (something happens and later something else happens) without CAUSATION (something happens that causes something else to happen).

So - that DOES NOT MEAN that this study found that eating processed meat causes cancer - as a news foof stated last night on Denver TV. In slang terms, it may indicate that there's some smoke, but no fire.

Probably 80% or more of the population does not know that correlation does not equal or indicate causation. (And I'm trying to be kind, it's probably more like 90%.)

 

Not sure if anyone's gonna get this but here I go anyway




Yaaaaa!!!!!!!, I mean nooooo.......bacon!!!!!

 

It turns out that October is also National ******** Awareness Month.

 

In the search for clarity I must say I'm a vege and believe that highly processed food of any sort isn't good for a person. Highly processed meatstuffs are pretty close to the lowest in my estimation, containing extremely high amounts of sodium and chemicals, some known to cause cancer.

 

I'm hoping that this news lowers demand on bacon and other processed meats, so I can afford to buy more!
