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.

Especially when we find out that this report was written by an animal rights outfit

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.

Does gammon count?

I think a far greater determinant of the development of dementia is brain usage. Keep your brain active, think creatively and take on endeavours that keep the brain involved and you're ahead of the game. Spend a lifetime sitting on the couch and watching t.v. and your a good candidate for dementia. The society which we live in generally speaking (in terms of employment in particular) really involves people turning off their thought processes and pretty much functioning as robots, that's a recipe for dementia) To some extent it's pretty much up to individual choices.

thanks for that advice Dr.Russ.

dementia is a choice.

Brain usage and development will give you what they call cognitive reserve, and help a lot to alleviate the development of certain types of dementia for some time, but it will not prevent it.

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.

Whew. Bet all those trained scientists are feeling pretty foolish right around now. Who knew that all they had to do was ask a failed English as a second language teacher and not actually conduct studies involving nearly half a million people.

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.

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