I love these stories. What are the odds of getting pancreatic cancer anyway? I'm guessing approximately **** all. So you have a slightly less chance than **** all of getting pancreatic cancer if you eat bacon every day.
Anyway, sausage butties are better, everyone knows that.
[edit] obviously I meant slightly more than, but the point stands

"Further prospective studies are needed to confirm these findings".
So it could be bollocks then?

I had a sausage, bacon and black pudding baguette for breakfast... too busy to be thinking about cancer.

Pretty small effect, given the relative rarity of pancreatic cancer.
Even with the numbers in the meta-analysis, the finding is hardly conclusive, given the difficulty in accurately reporting what you eat and when, and the difficulty in accurately separating out the effects of the bacon, how the bacon is cooked, what the bacon is eaten with, whether the person is a fatty anyway (which genuinely increases pancreatic cancer risk, and is a likely scenario for a bacon guzzler...)
The processed meat and cancer thing is a major hobby horse for the World Cancer Research Fund, and the results of some pretty big studies are far from conclusive. Reporting bias means we only tend to hear about studies which find something, rather than the dozens which have found piffling or no effect whatsoever.

Radio 4 said that it gave a 19% increase over people that did not eat meat. However, if you were overweight and smoked, then the percentages increased even more.
So, to my mind, they should run the following trials:
Overweight/non-smoker veggie vs. thin/non-smoker meat eater
Thin/smoker veggie vs. thin/smoker meat eater
Thin/smoker meat eater vs. thin/non-smoker meat eater
Overweight/non-smoker meat eater vs. thin/non-smoker meat eaterEtc, then see whether eating bacon is bad for you, compared to smoking or being a lard bucket.

I think he ought to be congratulated for finding a use for them. Do you do vegan ones? I've always wondered what a vegan tastes like. Fairly bland I'd have thought?

Pancreatic cancer? Bloody hell! Its a minefield! Literally! You're not going to point out some research saying it'ss caused by pies and pasties are you? If so, then I fear I really can't go on

Roper - if you look at the table provided by the DH, you'll see that you have to have a serious weekly intake of meat to register any noticeable increase in risk.

According to this, a few rashers of bacon a day would not put you in the increased risk group, although having a steak or roast dinner every day might just swing it.
As before, it's really hard to separate out the distinct effects of overdoing the meat from general bad diet and lardiness.

Its ok, this report in the Guardian suggests weed isnt as bad for your lungs as previously thought so maybe a bacon butty and a spliff will cancel each other out!

In the end we all die, so you may as well eat what you want, drink what you want, smoke what you want, and enjoy yourself. The 'experts' can go do one...

Slightly off-topic, but why do vegetarians spend so much time and effort making their food look like meat again (veggie sausages, veggie burgers, quorn) ...
