So 2,601 out of 500,000 developed bowel cancer over 5 years, which is about 0,5%. 20% higher chance would mean 0,6%.
I'll take my chances with delicious bacon and red meat
Everything™ gives you cancer
So make sure to eat two
Never found any sort of bacon to taste good at all so adjusting my diet shouldn't be too hard
Might aswell tell us what doesn't eventually give us some sort of cancer, list'll be much shorter.
Study aside, I've never out found american bacon is so popular, there's bacon infused alcohol, bacon perfume etc.
It feels overrated, and its way too salty for me, I find it over processed.
But the bacon you get from Korean BBQ taste just fine, the salt content isn't as ridiculous
I don't know where you're getting bacon that's overly salty, we make bacon all the time here and it's not salty at all
but also
"eating one slice of bacon a day linked to more happyness"
Same, same. It tastes good therefore I eat it. Yum!
Studies such as these are notoriously unreliable, they rely on self reported online questionnaires for the main data, and it's been proven time and time again that people constantly misrepresent their food intake. They're arguing for an association, one that's basically fuck all (A hazard ratio of 1.20 is barely statistically significant), without actually putting out any explanation oh why they've gotten these results. One massive fucking red flag within the results was the finding positive associations with men for all these control groups (Red meat, processed meat, alcohol), but no association for women. So we can ask ourselves, is it more likely that there are sex specific mechanisms in our bowels that attenuate our risk for specifically colorectal cancer, or is it more likely for women to under-represent their consumption? Is it possibly more likely for men to under represent their consumption of alcohol? How the fuck can an online questionnaire (asking you to provide a list of a single days worth of food, once every 3 or 4 months) actually come close to properly representing the dietary habits of their participants. I wish the authors of this study would get their head out of their fucking asses and go do some real research, correlation doesn't equal causation, epidemiology stresses that inference is just that. Real trash from CNN here though, stop stating shit that isn't confirmed like it's already science fact.
This implies the Shadow Secretorum or FEMA won't make me disappear first.
I hate pork and don't eat it anyway. No biggie.
This post is known to the state of California to cause cancer.
So a year from now I'll see the counter study saying Bacon cures cancer. Can't wait.
Well I guess that explains it.
I'm not kidding, I actually have rectal cancer. :v
Well, it's better to burn out than to fade away.

The problem is if you're buying 'american bacon' you're buying some packaged export. At least here up north most of the meat and dairy is farm sourced, thick cuts of fresh maple smoked bacon needs no seasoning
Without reading the study, I'll make a generalized comment on this sort of epidemiological study and point out that they are asking if a person eats 1+ slices of bacon / day, i.e. any amount of bacon daily. Most people do not eat a single slice per serving - this is not the point of the study.
Most healthy individuals do not eat processed meats of any kind everyday, and we all know at this point that nitrates are bad for us. Bacon is probably fine to eat in moderation occasionally. Far greater threats to your health lurk in a sedentary lifestyle, in the absence of a balanced diet otherwise.
As Stanislaw Jerzy Lec said: "Living is bad for your health. People die from that."
Moderation in mind but, yeah.
My gramma says I should eat soup. I stopped when I was 17 because I was fed soup every day for 17 years. I despise it now.
It made me really healthy yes, I won't say no to that, but I only started seeing what flavour is after I stopped the soup.
Why live 110 years of unhappiness, if you can live less and be happy?
Then again, fucking cancer shows up from places you don't even know about, so fuck living in fear.
Smoked salmon bacon is where it's at
People always say this every time an article like this gets posted but there is actually a very large body of evidence that red meat is bad for you and there's never this theoretical "red meat cures cancer" rebuttal
The cancer rate in the US is 439 for every 100,000, that's 2200 per 500,000. I would say these numbers are negligible
Huh, I don't think I've ever eaten Bacon that's NOT salty. Are you sure you're not just accustomed to eating a lot of salt?
Do fast food burgers taste salty to you?
Why haven't the makers of this so called Everything been sued yet?
I was about to say "air" but that's got so much bullshit in it that that's not even true either.
Life is nothing but risks, but that' sok. Fear of death is no excuse not to live.
