Red meat gives you cancer

Tis a sad day

 

[Abraxaz1]

Of course it does, everything can apparently give you cancer if you believe everyone of these stupid reports.

 

[Semple]

Read this this morning. Gets a bit annoying that pretty much everything you eat/cook these days will likely give you cancer.

As someone who always had ham sandwiches as a kid, and i do still like a cheese and ham toastie and some bacon at the weekend, it seems like i'm doomed.

 

[Marky]

Everything gives you Cancer

I got into work this morning, began to munch down on a bacon roll I bought before I got in, and loaded up BBC News to this

 

[rhysduck]

If you want to find something eventually you will.

Ignore it all. RED MEAT mmm mm mmmmmm

 

[Hades]

Something will kill you. Might as well enjoy bacon. Om nom nom nom.

 

[haaammit]

Aren't there only two items in the world that are proven to not cause cancer, all other things have the potential to?

Bacon is life - get it in ya!

 

[Raymond Lin]

Life gives you cancer.

 

[wolfie138]

how is this news, I've been hearing it for about 30 years. always closely followed by a countering article.

 

[Yaayuh!]

Life gives you cancer.

 

[MikeTheNative]

Breathing oxygen shortens your life so may as well give up that as well

[Feek]

Wow, this is really old ‘news’.

I genuinely don’t care. I don’t give a flying hoot.

 

[Mobius 1]

Eh. I’ve known about this for years. And it doesn’t put me off in the slightest.

 

[rhysduck]

First one that I saw in that list was BLOWJO8S

 

[Minusorange]

Wow, this is really old ‘news’.

I guess it's because the study is complete so they now have statistics to back up their claims, previously it may have been "red meat can give you cancer" now it's "red meat will give you cancer"

I know everything pretty much can give you cancer and wouldn't be surprised if water can give you cancer thanks to the chlorine, fluoride and micro plastics

 

[blairw]

I think all articles such as this should have an explination around relative vs absolute percentages

 

[marc2003]

The population needs culling anyway. FREE BACON FOR EVERYONE.

 

[Puzzled]

I was watching a video the other day and they were saying how its the nitrates that are pumped in to red meat to preserve it and keep it looking pink (rather than going grey as shoppers won't buy it) that was one of the major concerns for causing cancer.

Some supermarkets are now trialling nitrate free bacon but obviously it costs more.

 

[chroniclard]

Will take the risk that steak will kill me. mmmm might grill a tomohawk steak this weekend if the weather is up to it.
