World Health Organization: Eating Processed Meat is Just as Cancerous as Smoking

[shin-bang]

not eating meat also causes problems, especially being anemic (not having enough iron in your diet)

The kid would have tossed it in the trash like a normal person if not for NS suggesting and voting that he eat it. Then he ate it. Thus NS gives you cancer.

wait....someone ate a wi-fi router?

There are other types of meat out there besides spam and beef, you know? Lol.

Tell that to the general population.

Well, not automatically/directly. If a vegetarian only ate Doritos and drank Coke (which both are technically vegetarian), then that would for sure lead to a health problem(s). However, if a well balanced & nutritious diet is maintained then it can be completely healthy and beneficial, as many world-class athletes have proven.

Seriously though, the evidence is undeniable and the data is staggering. People think eating meat is good for you. It really isn't. I just shake my head.

Eh, I know its not good for me. You can find "healthier" meats like fish or bird meat, which humans are more developed to process, but red meat just tastes 2 dank.

And nicotine highs feel fantastic.

This thread on reddit is pertinent to this topic. Basically saying this article is misleading. Smoking increases the risk of lung cancer 2500% and bacon increases the risk of colon cancer 18%.

It's not misleading, people are just really dumb when it comes to journals and studies.

The WHO report puts tobacco and hotdogs in the same class because both have a mother fuckton of evidence saying they are cancer causing. The link between the product and cancer is "level 1" strong. It doesn't mention how carcinogenic they are. It doesn't need to really. The point of this was to prove that red meats and processed meat are in FACT carcinogenic... But then again, so is any kind of BBQ. And fuck if I'm gonna give up sear or char.

Right, I wasn't saying the study was misleading. There are a bunch of news articles put out by journalists that don't know how to interpret studies that are being misleading.
