The posh herby rosemary spattered one with a Sunday lunch, the 'plain' one cold, nicked from the fry up dish in the fridge. Another recent find, the cheapo Morrisons version of soya pretend minced beef is actually rather good at bulking up some dishes. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwise it is the vaguest claim of all time. Drinking water is worse for you than smoking. If you smoke 1 cigarette and drink 90 litres of water.

chrisp65 Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 I don't think there's a week goes by without me getting some sausage action. I'm on site bright n early in the morning and it's been scientifically proven that a fully loaded breakfast bap tastes 63% better when you're dressed as Bob the Builder and spending someone else's money.

UN health body says bacon, sausages and ham among most carcinogenic substances along with cigarettes, alcohol, asbestos and arsenic. Google it, there are alot of scientists claiming it is so.

sharkyvilla Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 I've grown a fondness of Slovakian sausage from the stall in town on Thursdays. Just enough paprika but without the slipperyness of German wurst. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Google it, there are alot of scientists claiming it is so. Public health body in misrepresentation of data and hysterical mis-reporting of actual facts? I don't believe it. You could use Google to back up any belief. Trying searching 'red meat cancer myth' or similar and you will find many scientists pointing out the flaws in the interpretation of the research. Once again, there has been confusion between causation and correlation. For example, those who eat a lot of processed meat tend to have generally 'unhealthier' lifestyles (lack of exercise, drinking, smoking) that likely contribute to incidences of cancer etc. Whilst eating 20 a day is not going to be good for you, to say that sausages are as harmful as cigarettes is, frankly, complete and utter bollocks and stands up to absolutely no scrutiny. It's the same with sugar. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
