Oh well.  You've got to die from something.  

Vegans get cancer too, and they're always angry.  No thanks.

This isn't new information. Processed meats and and ass-cancer have been linked for a long-ass time.

The sun also causes cancer.  WHO recommends cave-living to mitigate exposure to the sun.  In fact, that's where they appear to live.

Makes me wanna eat some bacon!!!

fishlessman

every time you eat some cancer causing bacon, drink a cancer preventive beer. seems to be working in the study ive been doing

Food choices in a cave are limited unless you have a bunch of shjt laying around and love mushrooms, or unless you go kill an animal and cook the meat over a fire and then blog about it on the wall of the cave.

From now on I'm going to get my meat from vegetarian hotdogs.

I heard this on the way in to work and thought that still isn't going to stop me from eating it, but may be eating smaller portions so I can lose some weight.  Doesn't basically everything in a way cause cancer, just depends on how much you eat.  Wasn't the last one on here was BBQ meat gives you cancer?  Sound like the ones doing most of these study's may be vegans and vegetarians.

Eating less meat is not a path to weight loss enlightenment.  Skip the sugar (including processed food, booze, dairy ) and the processed carbs and the weight will fall off and your weight loss will be sustainable.

eat whole foods....voila.

Research shows that studies cause cancer...

Processed meats are in that category, red meat is 'probably' carcinogenic. If you live long enough, you'll die of something.

Doing all that too, but smaller portion sizes have helped me before too.  Processed food won't be hard to do, but the cheese and beer will.

The WHO report didn't suggest that people abstain from eating red/processed meats. It just suggested that too many people eat too much meat - portion size/frequency matters. If one is eating lots of meat they are also likely not consuming as much fruits and veggies as is recommended.

Some cooking methods do increase some cancer causing compounds but again what really seems to be the important data point regarding red/processed meat consumption is - portion size/frequency matters.

Well, it's also proven that medical marijuana is beneficial in curbing the growth of cancer cells.  

So.... time to spark up some 420 and throw some meat on the egg!

Consider it done.

Man ate nothing but meat for millions of years….processed foods and sugar cause the problems, not meat

My grandfather died of asbestosis. It was horrible. To hear these folks make a ridiculous claim like that pisses me off. 

Botch

I may not be here much anymo

Terrebandit

WTF.  Get the pipes checked every 5 to 10 and keep the smoke rolling.

I'm a survivor as is my Sister & countless others. And unfortunately Cancer has taken too many to mention. I worked with and around asbestos many years but, always wore PPE (Personal Protective Equipment like a fitted  lead & asbestos respirator). Cancer seems to be the scare all disease. I'm convinced waking up every day causes it!  In all seriousness lifestyle choices affect one's risk factor. That being said I believe in enjoying life and plan on doing so as long as the good Lord gives me. We do our best in eating balanced dietary. That said we eat better now egging and home cooking than we ever did before. Smile, laugh, love and egg on

@DoubleEgger, sorry this brought back your grandfathers tough go.  Too much sensationalism and nothing practical.  And don't forget, the committee is French.  Nuff said (even tho I love France).

Oh, please.
In the same "danger category" is not synonymous with 'presenting the same danger'.

While jerking your knee to a headline may be personally satisfying for whatever reason, understanding the substance is,
well . . . it's better.

I hope your comments weren't directed towards me @Sardonicus

Self-important much?

And here I am, unconcerned about your hopes.

DoubleEgger

I used to think you were a total d bag, now I'm positive of it. F-off pal.

LOL
Still.  Unconcerned.

From the IARC Q&A document regarding the report on red meat consumption:

Q. Processed meat was classified as carcinogenic to humans (Group 1). Tobacco smoking and asbestos are also both classified as carcinogenic to humans (Group 1). Does it mean that consumption of processed meat is as carcinogenic as tobacco smoking and asbestos?

A. No, processed meat has been classified in the same category as causes of cancer such as tobacco smoking and asbestos (IARC Group 1, carcinogenic to humans), but this does NOT mean that they are all equally dangerous. The IARC classifications describe the strength of the scientific evidence about an agent being a cause of cancer, rather than assessing the level of risk.

Not sure why that statement would be upsetting.
