Just when I thought that mankind has come to its senses and and stopped threatening everyone who does not follow a strictly vegetarian diet with hell on Earth from cholesterol<\/a> — the World Health Organisation has come up with yet another threat.
\n<\/p>\n

Processed meats are declared carcinogenic — not a great surprise to me, since they are laden with nitrites, a known poison and carcinogen. In developed countries curing meat with poisonous nitrites is required by law<\/em>. Perhaps the powers that be should revise that.<\/p>\n

Interestingly the WHO also says that red meat is “probably carcinogenic” which is in sharp contrast with some popular beliefs that grass fed beef and lamb are anti-cancer foods<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Blanket classification of all red meat as carcinogenic has created a world-wide outrage from the common people on social media<\/a> as well as from world leaders.<\/p>\n

Of course the effect of cooking should not be underestimated. North Americans tend to burn everything on a BBQ. We know that cooking can produce carcinogens even in something supposedly as innocuous as French fries<\/a>. A different group of carcinogenic chemicals<\/a> are produced when meat is burned.<\/p>\n

Before even putting our everyday bacon and steak in the same category as tobacco one should at the very least conduct a study to distinguish the carcinogenic effect of the cooking and curing methods from those of the raw materials.<\/em><\/p>\n

Meat causes cancer and heart disease, sugar causes diabetes, eggs are full of cholesterol, grains are full of gluten, vegetables are a breeding ground for bacteria that kill you real quick, they are also chock full of pesticides, the organic ones have mold growing on them and aflatoxin if a lot more carcinogenic than any meat, marine fish and sea food are chock full or mercury and other heavy metals, milk has lactose in it. <\/p>\n

The only way to be completely safe is if you give up eating altogether and you starve to death before anything bad might possibly happen to you.<\/strong><\/p>\n
