Processed meat 'early death' link

[Clueless Git]

Sausages, ham, bacon and other processed meats appear to increase the risk of dying young, a study of half a million people across Europe suggests.
It concluded diets high in processed meats were linked to cardiovascular disease, cancer and early deaths.

The phrase "Whale oil beef hooked!" comes to mind ..

I saw a version of this on MSN news. The author concluded "at least they'll die happy".

I was reading online responses and a lot of people are determined to carry on eating bacon, sausages etc... because everything causes cancer and they are sick of the nanny state telling them what to do.

At least this Yahoo article suggests eating vegetarian as an alternative. Processed meat alternatives: Top tips for eating less - Yahoo! Lifestyle UK

I saw this on BBC breakfast "NEW RESEARCH indicates that processed meat is linked to early death!"

Pretty sure I've heard that before.
