Killer Bacon

BACON IS THE GREATEST FOOD EVER! mmm...bacon. the article does say "processed" by the way.

anyway, the real key to health is moderation and also getting exercise. on top of that, genetics play a role as well. ppl should stop blaming the food and start taking some accountability for what they do.

eating mcdonald's everyday is obviously going to be bad for u. but too much water will kill u too. no need to ban mcdonald's or water.

Nevetheless, cheyroze, our ancestors had little or no pollution in the air and in the food, and they had short lives notwithstanding. Furthermore, the Inuit found their vitamin C in eating raw meat of seals and caribou, but eating raw beef, raw mutton, raw pork carries the danger of getting tapeworm.

On the other hand, people who eschew meat and those who eschew all animal products in their food have a far lower incidence of cancer than do meat-eaters, and also tend to live considerably longer.

I don't read articles about how bad "red" meat is because we (as a species) have been eating it long before the industrial age of transfats, corn syrup and nitrates in which we live now.

The blaming of red meat, the very substance that kept us alive through the last ice age for our heart problems now is just nuts. During the ice age, our only source of vitamin C (the stuff that keeps us from bleeding from the insides, what we call "scurvy") was raw meat. So, instead of being extinct, we ate whatever animals we could find. I'm sure that included mass quantities of red meats and bacon-like substances.

I believe in moderation too, I just think that blaming meat for our problems is seriously misguided and misleading. It also distracts us from the real issues of "food" products such as transfats and fake sugars.
I don't care to debate with anyone. I just want people to know that other arguments exist.

I am actually well-versed in alternitive health issues. The stuff you bring up comes directly from the FDA, and other government organizations who have no real interest in our health, their only interest is with what Dr. Matthias Rath terms, "The Business with Disease". These are the people who approved for us such lovely products as Crisco and Phen-Phen.

I know he is a highly controversial person. Just look at the slander on Wikipedia!

This is because he tells the truth. Like George Orwell says, "During times of universal deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act. " The revolutionaries are always controversial, how can one be against pop-culture and not be controversial.

The article mentions eating it in moderation which is good advice. You're both right. 500 Grams a week is a lot I think... Yum Maybe I'll up my dose!

If you didn't read it, how could you know if it is slanderous or not? :) As for who I am to judge, I've been interested in the subject for decades and so am pretty well-versed and conversant in it.

No, I didn't read your slanderous article about my beloved bacon.
I know that you didn't read mine either, so who are you to judge?

cheyroze, did you read the linked article? It is not the processing and addition of nitrates that are to blame, the danger lies in eating any red meat, processed or not, cooked or not.

Bacon has delicious, healthy fats. YUMMY!!! EAT IT UP!

It's not processed (it's just cut from a pig) unless you add nasty nitrates to it, its GOOD healthy traditional food. Eggs are a delicacy and are also good for you.

If you want to cut something out of your diet because you don't want heart disease, start with high-fructose corn syrup.
