Bacon, sausage, ham, Hot dogs! =Lung cancer!

I heard it on the news this evening. I guess when I did a web search that they cause all kinds on cancer if you eat them regularly. Especially if you cook them crispy. It has got to do with the nitrates in them I think.

Yup... after the war there was a hige increase in colon and stomach cancer in Poland. All atributed to the increased consumption of meat, especially cured meats.

It's better to eat Omega-3 fatty acids.

[Nick C]

I think the only safe thing left is snickers.

[carolhg]

I did not see 'ribs' on that list, so barbeque must still be okay (at least every now and then).

Cancer or no cancer these are not good for you. I love all of them but have switched to some soy substitutes. Stay away from processed foods.

Stay positive,

Ok i think all the worry we do about every thing that is supposedly going to kill us is what is killing us besides God's time table. I'll bet someday there will be a information health type new's that will come out and decide it's all God's fault. Now for a more serious remark, i just read that when you eat processed meat's to eat tomato with it as it is suppose to counter act the bad thing's that can happen from the ingrediant's.This came from a highly speacialized natural treatment doctor that has been on different talk show's...I think his name is Stengler...

And that could explain my dad

I believe everything in moderation as I enjoy a hot dog now and again Although when I did Atkins daily for two weeks, I ate a few hotdogs daily, but that was short term.

I don't think we will ever know full answers as some of the healthiest eaters in the world get the disease too.

However, I have wondered about my dad and his love for Diet Coke. I think he has to drink a few each day. His garage looks like a Diet Coke store at times.

A diet of snickers??? I'm in!

[Flowergirlie]

When we went to the nutritionist, she told us that it is projected 1 in 3 people will end up with some sort of cancer because of our diets and that it is easily avoidable. After pondering the concept and doing a bit of reading, I see how our fast paced society could be assisting us in a cancer diagnosis because we are just not getting proper nutrition. The key to good health is through our colon, if that helps anyone, and too much meat can inhibit that.

Would you think that red wine and dark chocolate might cancel out those negatives ?

Of course I noticed the word 'regularly' in there. Seems like almost ANYTHING we 'overdo' can't be so good. I don't think I can give up my bacon, lettuce, and tomato sandwiches !

I wonder how a snickers, lettuce and tomato sandwich would taste? I'm all for the all snickers diet

[Connie B]

Okay, I'm not a big hotdog fan, and I don't much like sausage, so does that mean I have HALF a chance of not getting other cancers?

Did someone say WINE???? Pretty soon we won't be able to eat anything!

Watch that lettuce--it could have ecoli!!!!!

[Tanner]

The meat will kill ya, the veggies got ecoli, fast paced stressed out lifestyle . . .

I too am ALL for the snickers diet!!

I think Snickers has some nutritional value, you've got protein from the nuts and there must be some milk, right?

[Donna G]

Yes! Snickers with healthy peanuts, dark chocolate! Sounds really healthy as long as you are not Diabetic.

[missyk]

My teeth are rotting just READING this! LOL But what's having no teeth as long as I'm cancer-free?!? LOL

Ok, actually what got me reading this was that my last name is listed in that list of things that will give you cancer (Hint, it's not sausage or hotdog ) and I wondered what all this was about!

Andrea? My mom was a Dt. Coke junkie too! LOL

I joked not long after her diagnosis that it must have been that she always ate her food "burned" when we put it on the grill...maybe that wasn't so far off afterall!

[Tiny]

Snickers and red wine in moderation...I'm in!!!

[ursol]

I assume this includes Prosciutto. I have always eaten tons of it.

[Suzie Q]

Grilling meats is also a no-no. The burning grease drippings and the charred surfaces convert into carcinogens.

ME, I'm going to go out and char up a hot dog loaded with bacon, and chase it with a tomato, red wine, dark chocolate and an omega-3 capsule!

I always think about my grandparent's, and how they ALL lived to be in their 90's!

They were "farmer-type" people, who ate home-grown meat's and veggies. (lotta salt-pork,, eggs, etc.)My uncle used to eat RAW hamburger!! YUCK! You would die for sure if you did that now-a-days.

I have Crohn's Disease, so I try to eat a healthy diet, but still, there are so many preservative's, chemical's and hormone's in our foods now, that it's nearly impossible.

We have our own chickens (for eggs), and a big garden. Guess I need to try and grow everything we eat! (Hmmm, I wonder where I can find "Snicker's seeds" to plant?)

[mhutch1366]

Don't know about a Snicker's tree, but a box of cheerios will give you plenty of seeds for donut bushes.....

Everything in moderation!

XOXOX

All of this again leads to the words I live by. Life is terminal and NONE of us are getting out of this alive. I love everything listed and most of it is even better if it is charcoaled. But I will also join in the snickers bandwagon. LOL
