    Not true.

    Oral, cervical and anal cancers can be caused by sex.

      Indeed

      But is it a really a full happy and complete existence when you are solely occupied with making it as long and drawn out as possible?

      I mean maybe I do the above and live till 80 and die with a scotch in my hand

      or maybe I don't and I live to 90 and die in a pool of my own piss.

      You have to balance the quality over quantity I reckon

        I bow to your greater knowledge on the subject, particularly with reference to anal cancers.

          The increase in risk is from 40 in 10,000 to 48 in 10,000 according to the BBC report of the most recent study. So you're going from being 99.6% more likely to die of something else to 99.52% if you eat red and processed meat.

          The report also says that a rasher of bacon is about 23g, and that "The Department of Health advises anyone eating more than 90g a day of red and processed meat should cut down to 70g." So three rashers a day, at 69g, is just under the DoH's recommended limit, and you can have KFC for tea

          As usual, they don't really address the question of what we're supposed to eat instead. It's not as if you can expect people to eat vegetable matter and suchlike muck

            What is the downside to eating a vegan?

                Did wonder why the Cancer Research woman this morning was not asked the only question worth asking of this report.
                For those that enjoy the finer things. I have recently discovered the toasted Ciabatta bacon and egg sandwich. Bacon sarnies will never be quite the same again.

                  If you do, then you will live a long life. Well if it is not long, it will feel like it.....

                  Bacon sandwich with ketchup

                  Brown sauce is devil's excrement.

                    Just the one. But I did have extra bacon. However, I only eat bacon a few times a month, so you'll have to put up with me a little longer.

                      We will get you for much longer. If you had a snip 20 years ago, your children are grown up(assuming you have children).

                      Children are some of the most stressful things out there. Well at least mine are.

                      Stress is inherited. You get it from your children...
