    So it seems now that if we consume 50gm processed meat (equivalent to 2 rashers of bacon or one small sausage) our risk of pancreatic cancer increases by 19%. Make it 100gms and it's a 38% increase, 150mgs and it shoots up to 57%.

    Shame - is nothing sacred! :cry3: I shall now have a bacon sarnie for lunch!

        Actually, an 'expert' in ITV news has just explained it this way ....

        If you take 300 people who never eat bacon or sausages, about 3 of them will get pancreatic cancer
        If you take 300 people who eat bacon and/or sausages every day, 5 of them will get pancreatic cancer

        That's better! [​IMG]

                  It's a proven fact that if you eat potatoes you will die! Probably too many carbos.

                  I love potatoes, however they arrive in front of me ... jackets, roast, new with butter and mint, boiled, mashed with cheese and onions, sauteed, chips ... which have I missed ... :rolleyespink:

                  I guess my days are numbered ... :heehee:

                      I gave up listening to all this Cr*p a few years ago . A report came out saying that ginger nut biscuits were carcinogenic ! Thats my fave dunking biscuit :dbgrtmb:
                      I always remember what my grandad told me . He said Harry if you don't smoke , don't drink and don't go with women you will not actually live any longer. It just feels like it ! :D

                        I am sorry to say people, tonight is my last night on GC. The reason? Tomorrow I intend having mushrooms, egg, tomatoes and BACON for breakfast. Sod the doomsayers. I will eat what I like and die happy, eventually.:D:dbgrtmb:
