[Closed] Oh Dear God!!! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

Don't worry. There will be a report along tomorrow claiming bacon cures cancer.

Amirite folks!

i'm made of bacon and rubbing my underbeard cures cancer.

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

[i]"Further prospective studies are needed to confirm these findings".[/i]

So it could be bollocks then?

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

So, Bacon killed Steve Jobs?
Rally the Fruit-Themed hipster Army! We march at dawn!

I laugh in the fancy of danger. The women who serve the bacon sarnies think I'm unhinged...

So it could be bollocks then?

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.

*Noshes.*

You told me the dream was innocent!

The risk you take when you eat a sausage

Only if you eat too much of the sausage, surely?

All or nothing

Noshes and sausage butties on a Friday morning?

You truly have found Nirvana

Its like a loaded gun......

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 eater

Etc, then see whether eating bacon is bad for you, compared to smoking or being a lard bucket.

Its like a loaded gun......

Someone has taken a dump in your beans....

I have some great vegetarian sausage recipes, in case anyone is interested?

Isn't making suasages out of people still going to give you cancer?

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 might be rare but bowl cancer is the third most common cancer.

Reading the Daily Mail can give you cancer...

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

Puts thinking cap on to consider alternatives.

Standing on lego increases the risk of foot cancer by 17.4%.

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.

DH.GOV.UK "http://www.dh.gov.uk/prod_consum_dh/groups/dh_digitalassets/documents/digitalasset/dh_124668.pdf"

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.

Good idea woppit.

More cardiacs videos instead.

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) ...

Binners, can do vegan sausages.
I cook these meat ones your on about for the kids, does that mean i might run the risk of cancer by touching them (the sausages not the kids).

Ooh Cardiacs 🙂 Tim Smith 🙁 poor lovely chap.

A thread about bacon and cancer resulting in the posting of Cardiacs videos? [b]I LOVE THIS PLACE![/b] 😀

Oh go on then.

My favourite:

Hmm. Why is this not working? Should be Jibber and Twitch, and the URL works.

smug vegan feels smug 😛

why do vegetarians spend so much time and effort making their food look like meat again (veggie sausages, veggie burgers, quorn)

the other obvious point is that meat is tasty even to a non meat eater, they dont object to the taste just the source
Personally I dont like food that tastes like meat but I suspect this issue divides the non meat eating community.
That's a genuine answer not a troll BTW [ may not apply to smug coment]

I wouldn't be feeling too smug. I'm going to make sausages out of you, next time I see you.

Erm.... are you planning on coming on the Brewery ride on the 29th?

*sharpens knives* 😛

I was inspired by the subject matter of the song. We spend so much time worrying about "can I eat this, should I drink that, should I say the other, what am I supposed to do about whatever" because of what we're being told... We never have a life - always calling itself on it's own phone - d'you see?
