So the World Health Organisation has just announced that processed meats are carcinogenic.
So a Bacon Sandwich can kill you!!!!
So can crossing a road and being hit by a car or bus. Or tripping over a banana skin!!!!!!!!!
Some of the ingredients in processed meats, like bacon and ham, have been scientifically proven to be carcinogenic and this has been known for some time, but it is only now that it has been made official.
However, before everyone runs around and decides that they will never again have Bacon and Eggs for breakfast or a ham sandwich or BLT, we need to put the brakes on and look at the situation carefully.
The media have been reporting all sorts of things about how bad processed meats are, and there will be people who immediately decide to sustain because of that reporting. This included significant reduction in red meat consumption will improve health.
Dark chocolate has been scientifically proven to be good for you.
However this doesn’t mean that we should all rush out and eat a block of it everyday. If someone eats a lot of carrots, their skin will go a yellow colour, and we all know that carrots are good for you
See, it is all about how much of each food we eat, as to whether it is good for us or not or is actually bad for our health.
I personally don’t eat any meat, but I do remember that bacon sandwiches tasted pretty good, which is why they are very popular.
Everything in moderation is the key to a healthy diet, and also to eating processed meats.
