Dr Brian Green, Dr William Crowe and Prof Chris Elliott from the uni's Institute for Global Food Security, reviewed all the recent studies looking at the link.
Some retailers in the UK are already selling new types of bacon and ham that have been processed without nitrites."nearly all" bacon and ham contains the cancer-causing chemicals. He explained: "Because there have been conflicting claims in the scientific community and the media about which types of meat may be carcinogenic, this study couldn't have come at a better time.More research needed
"That remains the guidance, but we hope that future research investigating the link between diet and colorectal cancer will consider each type of meat individually rather than grouping them together.
I'm still eating bacon!...
Breathing air could potentially cause cancer, so they can fk right off with this 💩! I’ll eat bacon until my heart explodes, unless my wife says otherwise. 😆
Isn’t death usually caused by life? Eat the bacon and smile.
BACON rules!
Bull shit if that is the case then I should have cancer as I have been eating it for most of my life and will still keep eating it until it's my time to leave this world
I’ll take the risk
Study done by the Muslim council of Britain.
EVERYTHING poses a cancer risk. Scaremongering rubbish.
