Pigs erupt in celebration all over the world

Back in 2014, an international advisory committee listed the effects of consuming processed and red meats as a high priority study area for the World Health Organisation’s International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) Monographs program. It’s well known that certain meats have an association with cancer; in this respect, the latest report, which now appears at The Lancet, offers very little that is new. It merely brought the existing literature together in a way that finally allowed scientists to make some definite proclamations about the cancer risks of eating processed and red meats.

So this is saying that WHO spent the least to grab the most headlines...Shocking :aghast

Some interesting information from Clear Labs... LINK

Of the 345 hot dogs and sausages Clear Food analyzed for this report, 14.4% were problematic in some way. Problems included substitutions and hygienic issues. Substitution occurs when ingredients are added that do not show up on the label. Hygienic issues occur when some sort of non-harmful contaminant is introduced to the hot dog, in most cases, human DNA. Here's what we found:

• Substitution: We encountered a surprising number of substitutions or unexpected ingredients. We found evidence of meats not found on labels, an absence of ingredients advertised on labels, and meat in some vegetarian products.
• Hygienic issues: Clear Food found human DNA in 2% of the samples. 2/3rds of the samples with human DNA were vegetarian products.

We found evidence of chicken (in 10 samples), beef (in 4 samples), turkey (in 3 samples), and lamb (in 2 samples) in products that were not supposed to contain those ingredients.

Pork is a particularly unwelcome substitution in any food when you consider that significant numbers of people do not eat pork for religious reasons. Clear Food found pork substitution in 3% of the samples we tested. In most cases, pork found its way into chicken and turkey sausages. Pork substitution was an issue in products across the price spectrum being sold at a wide variety of retailers.

While some of these substitutions, hygienic issues, other variances, or off-label ingredients may be permitted by the FDA, our scientific disclosure allows you, as the consumer, to decide whether the variance or problems meet your personal standard in your buying decision.

Human DNA found in 2% of samples

2/3 of the human DNA samples were vegetarian products.

10% of Vegetarian products contained meat.

We found chicken in a vegetarian breakfast sausage and pork in a vegetarian hot dog.

When the government overlords make pork illegal, I am going to open a site from Sicily called "Friends of Prosciutto" (FOP)!! PSP bacon will be the hot item!

So I guess the companies that produce "Pink Slime" and the glued together meats are thinking up some PR right now.

Fair warning: I'm about to medical geek out a bit!

It's interesting. I've been seeing this "study" pop up everywhere (and it's almost like it's a stalker of mine on Facebook). The amazing thing is that this processed meat study is all the rage right now, but the science behind it is being misquoted. The increase risk for problematic diseases, from the study I've done, gives me a chance to use one of my favorite scientific terms: clinically negligible.

So many people are entirely up in arms about this right now and they're the same people who completely miss the discussion regarding insulin's effect on lipogenesis (or the metabolic process of turning "stuff" into fatty cells in the body). I've done a lot of research and read a whole lot of scientific papers, and guess what: it's a pretty well accepted fact in the medical community that insulin greatly stimulates lipogenesis.

The TO LONG;DIDN'T READ point I'm making is the two arguments: "Don't eat fat. Don't eat red meat, or fatty meat" and the "If you're fat it's because you're either taking in too many calories or not burning enough calories" are completely and utterly not supported in study after study. Skipping that steak in trade for more pasta, or not sauteing your veggies in butter is exactly the thing that is likely contributing to a lot of metabolic disorders (weather we're talking "getting fat", or adult onset diabetes and other such problems ).

I say all of the above to say this: the whole lipogenesis/insulin connection and the fact that if you're inflamed/diseased (or becoming inflamed/diseased) is a far more important message to get out. And this thought process and the large body of science that supports it (if you go digging) flies in the face of conventional [western] medicine. But because it takes some time, effort, and research to get to this stuff it's not as "fun" to do news on. Calamity and dread will always be sexier than science and research.
