Thread: Eating Bacon increases risk of Dementia say scientists

So repeater must get through a *lot* of it. Perhaps whole pigs.

Eating processed meats such as bacon every day could increase the risk of dementia by 44 per cent, a new study has found.

The study, published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, examined nearly half a million people with an average age of around 57, who had signed up to the UK Biobank project.

The findings showed eating 25g of processed meat — the equivalent of one bacon rasher — raises the risk of dementia by 44 per cent.

Meat-eating has previously been linked to dementia risk, but the researchers believe that this is the first study of its kind to find a link between the amount of meat consumed and the chance of developing the disease.

I should be OK... Can't remember the last time I ate bacon.

It's worth it.

Bit of a surface contraction, as everything is better with real good bacon.
Though, quite dependent on the variable quality/grade of said delectable.

Fuck the scientists and their uptight studies - overthinking most everything.

No steaks, burgers, barbecues and smoked ribs, the thought is horrifying.

Bacon is serious shit, russell.

I'm not being critical of bacon consumers. I know people who will would die for bacon, I just don't have any appetite for it myself. I seriously doubt whether bacon consumption has anything to do with the development of dementia.

I agree with that comment.

There has to be tens of thousands of more useful studies that the taxpayer would be happy to fund.

Yes Russel, like whether the same evidence exists for gammon.

^ Gammon is also classed as processed, as is ham and sausages.

Reminds me of the butter is bad for you episode, and eggs are bad episode and...etc.

One of my sisters since recovering from a double mastectomy has gone 5 years veggie now and some of the stuff is quite tasty but i draw the line at her veggie smoked salmon which consists of slivers of carrot (presumably for its colour) marinated in liquid smoke.

And the decaf era.
Is gluten okay again yet or is that still out?

I love bacon. God created pigs so some human could invent bacon and that was the start of the best breakfast food ever.
