Processed Meats Too Dangerous for Human Consumption

Whatever. I'm still going to eat bacon.

It's kind of like telling a cigarette smoker it will kill him or a heavy person not to eat junk. They know but do it anyway.

The big three for shortened life expectancy are processed meats, cigarette smoking and trans-fats.

I exercise daily I run and swim and ride a bike when my hip and knee hurt I also eat healthy, mostly fruits and vegetables non gmo if I can.

I'm not convinced, especially about processed meats.

The World Cancer Research Fund (WCRF) has completed a detailed review of more than 7,000 clinical studies covering links between diet and cancer.1 Bottom line: Processed meats are too dangerous for human consumption. Consumers should stop buying and eating all processed meat products for the rest of their lives.

Processed meats include bacon, sausage, hot dogs, sandwich meat, packaged ham, pepperoni, salami and virtually all red meat used in frozen prepared meals. They are usually manufactured with a carcinogenic ingredient known as sodium nitrite.2 This is used as a color fixer by meat companies to turn packaged meats a bright red color so they look fresh. Unfortunately, sodium nitrite also results in the formation of cancer-causing nitrosamines in the human body. And this leads to a sharp increase in cancer risk for those who eat them.

A 2005 University of Hawaii study found that processed meats increase the risk of pancreatic cancer by 67 percent.3 Another study revealed that every 50 grams of processed meat consumed daily increases the risk of colorectal cancer by 21 percent.4 These are alarming numbers. Note that these cancer risks do not come from eating fresh, non-processed meats. They only appear in people who regularly consume processed meat products containing sodium nitrite.

A lot of the health nuts aren't all that healthy. In many cases, their health hysteria is just a front for eating disorders.

Many of the so-called health nuts rely solely on abstaining from a long list of items rather than engaging in positive, pro-active behavior such as exercise.

They make all the products mentioned without nitrites.

Maybe for some people, but I ALL my grandparents ate at least five servings of the meats you listed every week, and they ALL lived to be at least 90!

"Processed Meats Too Dangerous for Human Consumption"

Pretty sure that's McDonalds new slogan.

Whatever. I'm still going to eat bacon.

The World Cancer Re

Sorry Bud but you are WRONG my devon meat Looks brown enough to me it doesn't have sodium nitrite at all dude they are both SALTS I eat it by the bucketloads and I have a PERFECT spleen, Pancreas, Gall bladder and kidneys the only thing wrong with me was from a car accident tore my right hip to pieces it's still sore 4 years later but it gets better with exercise which I do enough of!

WHO THE FUCK WOULD EAT RED (RAW) MEAT!

Medicine.

Sodium nitrite can be used as part of an intravenous mixture with sodium thiosulfate to treat cyanide poisoning.

It is on the World Health Organization's List of Essential Medicines, a list of the most important medication needed in a basic health system.

There is also research to investigate its applicability towards treatments for heart attacks, brain aneurysms, pulmonary hypertension in infants, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa infections.

Inhibition of microbial growth

Sodium nitrite is well known for its role in inhibiting the growth of Clostridium botulinum spores in refrigerated meats. (botulism)
The mechanism for this activity results from the inhibition of iron-sulfur clusters essential to energy metabolism of Clostridium botulinum.

However, sodium nitrite has had varying degrees of effectiveness for controlling growth of other spoilage or disease causing microorganisms.

Even though the inhibitory mechanisms for sodium nitrite are not well known, its effectiveness depends on several factors including residual nitrite level, pH, salt concentration, reductants present and iron content.

Furthermore, the type of bacteria also affects sodium nitrites effectiveness.

It is generally agreed upon that sodium nitrite is not considered effective for controlling gram-negative enteric pathogens such as Salmonella and Escherichia coli.[16]
