Water = 100% mortality rate. I think you are on to something. "There is no natural death, only death from prolonged water drinking"? You Sir, are a genius! | ||

Bush junior graduated there, just saying. | ||

“When we looked at average nutrients in unprocessed red and processed meats eaten in the United States, we found that they contained similar average amounts of saturated fat and cholesterol. In contrast, processed meats contained, on average, 4 times more sodium and 50% more nitrate preservatives,” said Micha. “This suggests that differences in salt and preservatives, rather than fats, might explain the higher risk of heart disease and diabetes seen with processed meats, but not with unprocessed red meats.” Dietary sodium (salt) is known to increase blood pressure, a strong risk factor for heart disease. In animal experiments, nitrate preservatives can promote atherosclerosis and reduce glucose tolerance, effects which could increase risk of heart disease and diabetes. IE buy raw meat and cooking it yourself is better than buying industrially processed meatstuffs that require preservatives for shipping etc. Also high sodium intake might be bad too but people already knew these things but now you can cite a study instead of the nebulous body of common knowledge. | ||

Just because we can eat meat to survive doesn't mean that it's good for us in any way. It's so sad though because pork is by far my favorite meat... it's so good! | ||

You drink everyday, you're going to turn into an alcoholic. Why surprised about eating something as bad for you as bacon? | ||

this article really doesn't say anything.. 'eat unhealthy things more than 3x a week and you'll probably be unhealthy'. I can't wait for the next major study... | ||

And it doesn´t matter who has made the study, it isn´t final in any way and there are many things to question. The statistical data is from the participants own estimations every 2 years. How accurate and trueful would your own estimates be for your last 2 years of consumption? Also the study merely shows correlation, nothing else. I´m not saying it's not a valid study, but the results are not the be all end all which the report states. You should try to understand what the people you are criticizing are saying before you blindly assume "it says Harvard, therefore we must not criticize it". | ||

If you'd know the result of a study before it's been done there wouldn't be any need to do any studies. Unfortunatelly that's usually not the case. Just don't pay attention to the ones that don't produce significant results, it's not hard (even though the media does a good job at trying to refute that point). | ||

Of course, if you want to eat irresponsibly that is your choice and you shouldn't be judged for it so long as you don't preach it. I find that offensive! Eat bacon, damn you - Otherwise my country is in the shit | ||
