nucklehead Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 http://dreamhealer.wordpress.com/2013/05/16/processed-meats-declared-too-dangerous-for-human-consumption/ The World Cancer Research Fund (WCRF) has just completed a detailed review of more than 7,000 clinical studies covering links between diet and cancer. Its conclusion is rocking the health world with startling bluntness: Processed meats are too dangerous for human consumption. Consumers should stop buying and eating all processed meat products for the rest of their lives. Processed meats include bacon, sausage, hot dogs, sandwich meat, packaged ham, pepperoni, salami and virtually all red meat used in frozen prepared meals. They are usually manufactured with a carcinogenic ingredient known as sodium nitrite. This is used as a color fixer by meat companies to turn packaged meats a bright red color so they look fresh. Unfortunately, sodium nitrite also results in the formation of cancer-causing nitrosamines in the human body. And this leads to a sharp increase in cancer risk for those who eat them.

canuckster19 Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 My father in law has diabetes, and he switched to eating fatback since it's a natural cut of meat, tastes better than bacon if you ask me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TOMapleLaughs Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 These products designed to extend shelf life of food products are all killing us. There is no reason why common fruit should be shipped in from New Zealand. There is also no reason why all our meat and poultry can't be local. Our way of life, in more ways than one, is unsustainable. The Matrix is a metaphor for our upcoming massive social revolution. Our rise against globalcorpolitical tyranny.

Sanj Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 I love how this is posted on some random blog by some hippie. He then sources some natural health site, which never cites this supposed article. That Natural health site wrote this article in 2012...Go eat your bacon people......(avoid the nitrates though) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biznow Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 Baby steps people. If you have to adjust your intake, get rid of luncheon meat first, eliminate bacon last. Ask yourself one question first though, is a life without bacon really worth living? Sure you can eat broccoli and live to be 100, but if I can make it to 75 while having bacon in my life, that sounds like the better option. Those last 25 years I'll just be sitting there pooping my pants anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EmployeeoftheMonth Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 It tastes great. It's crispy. Sometimes, there are things that you enjoy that may or may not be 'appealing' for others. Some people wonder how you can eat 'meat'. Others wonder how you can only eat vegetables. Sucks now that I will avoid bacon from now on because of sodium nitrite.

-DLC- Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 Know about nitrites and be careful...there are other products cleverly disguised as nitrites that, as listed, would make you think they're something healthier. Maple Leaf Foods, which offers a line of deli meats under its Natural Selections line with "no added preservatives," is one such product. The packaging does include a reference to cultured celery extract. However, Marketplace tested the product in a lab and discovered that the natural-sounding extract is actually a nitrite. "For all intents and purposes it is bio-chemically identical," said nutrition expert Dr. Yoni Freedhoff. http://www.huffingto..._n_1251474.html I heard this Marketplace report awhile ago and was really discouraged to learn that our food can be so misleadingly labeled. I live by "everything in moderation" but when it's stuff that puts our health at risk, I want to know so I can avoid products like this. Absolute crap that we've arrived at a time where nothing is sacred anymore, including our health. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Electro Rock Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 Kill it yourself, instead of buying expensive steroid and hormone pumped meat that came from a unhealthy animal. Even the granola crowd is starting to do it now; http://www.vancouversun.com/travel/Ethical+killing+Hipsters+hippies+women+taking+hunting/8237288/story.html My last rabbit cost me 60¢ rather than $30 for the farmed version.
