Meat Bad
"Eating red meat is associated with a sharply increased risk of death from cancer and heart disease, according to a new study, and the more of it you eat, the greater the risk…. each daily increase of three ounces of red meat was associated with a 12 percent greater risk of dying over all, including a 16 percent greater risk of cardiovascular death and a 10 percent greater risk of cancer death. The increased risks linked to processed meat, like bacon, were even greater: 20 percent over all, 21 percent for cardiovascular disease and 16 percent for cancer."
"Previous studies have linked red meat consumption and mortality, but the new results suggest a surprisingly strong link."
Know what else has a surprisingly strong link to mortality? Life.
@KenWheaton Onion article out front shoulda told ya
@NinetyNine 100% Why! I'm calling my congressman! This is obviously a violation of my human rights!
@KenWheaton I think they mean excess (or premature) mortality, but yeah. I really like meat.
@KenWheaton Yes. What does "a 12 percent greater risk of dying over all" even mean??
science can suck it !!
They'll have to take my red meat from my cold, dead, cardiovascularly compromised, cancer-ridden hands!
I only eat unicorn meat and I'm just fine.
that's white meat.
So, if you eat red meat for, say, 10 day, you a have 100% increase of dying from Cancer. Basically we're all gonna die. Wee.
I'd like to see a more specific breakdown. Like, for example, where do Vienna Sausages fall?
@BadUncle
Vienna sausages don't count if you're fishing.
@Tulletilsynet I've heard an ice fishing hut is called a "gym" in Minnesota.
Meat really is murder.
I'd rather eat bacon than live a long life without it.
But everyone everywhere on the internet ever is telling me that grains and beans are poison and we should only ever eat bacon!

Thou shalt not live within thy means, Nor on plain water and raw greens.
