Processed Meats are Carcinogenic

[kennethwfd]

All of these scares about various foods being bad for you, yet we are all living far longer than we used to, with staggering numbers of people living to be 100 - well over 13,000 in 2012.

"Internationally, the UK lagged only behind Spain, Italy, France and Japan for the number of 100-year-olds in its population."

I reckon if we all give up the bangers and the bacon sarnies, we will be living to 120.

does that include smoking, alcohol and sex....
you won't live any longer, just it will feel like it

I'm sure I've read that sex (or at least the last minute or 2 of it for men!) is supposed to reduce the risk of prostate cancer. Pretty much the only activity I can think of that doesn't necessarily involve any taxation as well.

Keep on sexing!

The first half has no impact then?

Well, the first 10 minutes is gentle exercise, followed by a gradual increase in workrate over the next 5, culminating in a sprint finish. However, this thread is about cancer/carcinogens so the final part is the bit that's relevant!

Wasn't there a carry on film, where ( I think it may have been carry on Henry) where someone wanted to up the taxes,
and one was the S.E.T
Sex Enjoyment Eax.

Fortunately that was fiction! Can't see Henry VIII or Sid James condoning it.

Plenty of other foods available. There could be all manner of foods causing ailments that stop you enjoying life at times, what makes you think eating healthily and living until 95 means you won't enjoy life.
I'd much rather attempt at a fit and healthy 95 year enjoyable life with my family, than eating crap food that serves no real purpose.

Yeah I am so with this statement, also supporting the view that ugly food is ok just means that the companies keep churning it out.
Walk down the average supermarket and look at the lanes of utter sh*te being touted as food, some of it wouldn't pass being allowed to be eaten by cattle it has so many preservatives in it.

Defend food by all means if it is good, but don't defend the right to eat bad food and be proud.

Gotta ask.............................what is EAX ????

 

[Nod]

I'm guessing it's a Eypo.

 

[Mr Bump]

EAX is enriched air or nitrox in the dive world, it denotes a mix of air with a higher O2 loading

I love a nice 32% mix in the red sea

and there's me thinking it was new fangled way of the government getting money from us

That too
but yes it was a typo and should have read tax

And you can't beat a bit of enrichment when you are erm .. diving

In your opinion though. I do like good food and buy most veg from our farm shop but I also like dirt food like Krispy Kreme, frankfurters and other stuff. If I like it that's all that matters!
