I don't even like bacon, which for a fatass like me is quite strange. When I do eat it the only way ill enjoy it is if its ridiculously undercooked. But on topic this study is retarded. Of course bacon is bad for you. Plus i'm fairly certain that a 3 oz serving of good red meat from a good source really wont impact your health negatively.

Everyone knows that Bacon contains a ridiculously high amount of fats.

A strip of bacon, once a week, is not bad for you. In fact, it's potentially HEALTHY for you, if you are otherwise not getting that kind of fatty nutrition in your diet.

If you're a dumbass and you're shoveling a ton of fat into your gullet on a daily basis, yes, you're in trouble.

It would be nice if these essays were perfectly clear on nutrition, instead of throwing out shit like this without the whole story. BRB, ORANGE JUICE IS BAD FOR YOU BECAUSE TOO MUCH VITAMIN C WILL GIVE YOU KIDNEY STONES.

This is sorta my specialty. I'm not a nutrition major or anything like that but I did major in health administration so I've read a ton of articles on weight related and chronic disease subjects. Basically, if you eat a vegetable heavy diet, you lower your chances of heart disease and obviously foods high in sugar(soda) and salt don't improve nutritional value. The way I see it is, if I have to cut meat to live an extra 5 years, I'd rather just eat meat and forfeit those 5 years since my quality of life won't be that exciting when I'm 78 (I think this is average age of morbidity for males in US).

Fortunately, most of the meat that I eat is poultry.

But I eat meat pretty much every day...

Bacon is disgusting, in my opinion.

Unfortunately, in my current living situation there is very little choice in the foods I can eat. I am often forced into eating loads of incredibly unhealthy processed garbage.
As long as people believe in absurdities they will continue to commit atrocities.

2 pieces of bacon = 20%
10 pieces of bacon = death

Its pig fat. Swine belly fat to be more precise.

Ofc its gonna be unhealthy.

But is it delicious? Youre damn motherfcking right it is.

Is it worth it? Maybe in small portions, youre damn motherfcking right it is.

Do I eat it on a regular basis? No, only once in a blue moon. And I treasure it when I do.

Not only the fat but also the browning that bacon undergoes (as well as all red meat) contributes to the deterioration of your arteries. Your arteries literally go through the same browning process well-cooked meat does. That's why there are some that advocate removing the caramel-color from Coca-Cola, though soda has that whole salt-sugar thing going on as well.

Dont forget the "sitting down inceases your chance of death" thread.

Im hoping that these sensationalist threads is just a phase. Cause it was funny at first, now its just annoying and littering the general forums.

Eating bacon or disgusting processed hotdogs EVERY DAY is bad for you? Gosh who knew!!


The study doesn't use common sense. If someone eats hot dogs on a frequent basis they're probably not the most active and healthy people in other aspects of their life. Labelling the study as "red meat is bad for you" is very misleading.


Having the occasional steak is not bad for you.

You think that you're smarter than the researchers who did this study? They adjusted for BMI, age, physical activity, smoking, drinking amount, hormone use, menopausal status, and a ton more stuff when they did their calculations for hazard ratios and dose response relationships. You can argue over whether or not their statistical analysis was done correctly but you should probably know what you're talking about before you say anything.

Read:
We used time-dependent Cox proportional hazards regression models to assess the association of red meat consumption with cause-specific and total mortality risks during follow-up. We conducted analyses separately for each cohort. In multivariate analysis, we simultaneously controlled for intakes of total energy, whole grains, fruits, and vegetables (all in quintiles) and for other potential nondietary confounding variables with updated information at each 2- or 4-year questionnaire cycle. These variables included age; body mass index (calculated as weight in kilograms divided by height in meters squared) (<23.0, 23.0-24.9, 25.0-29.9, 30.0-34.9, or 35.0); race (white or nonwhite); smoking status (never, past, or current [1-14, 15-24, or 25 cigarettes per day]); alcohol intake (0, 0.1-4.9, 5.0-14.9, or 15.0 g/d in women; 0, 0.1-4.9, 5.0-29.9, or 30.0 g/d in men); physical activity level (<3.0, 3.0-8.9, 9.0-17.9, 18.0-26.9, or 27.0 hours of metabolic equivalent tasks per week); multivitamin use (yes or no); aspirin use (yes or no); family history of diabetes mellitus, myocardial infarction, or cancer; and baseline history of diabetes mellitus, hypertension, or hypercholesterolemia. In women, we also adjusted for postmenopausal status and menopausal hormone use.
