Processed Meat Linked to Increased Mortality

Over the weekend I had a chance to read an article about new research that has DIRECTLY connected processed meat consumption with an increased change of mortality (dying).  Now most of know that bacon isn’t the healthiest food on the planet but did you some lunch meats, hotdogs, hams, and many other meat products are  processed in some way and have had preservatives and other chemicals added that basically make eating these products deadly.  Sure it won’t kill you while you are eating it at breakfast today, but what about that same food eaten numerous times over your life time?  What about the other processed meats you eat?  Pepperoni pizza anyone?  How about smoked sausage links at the holidays?  Suffice it to say that based on the results of this large study it is entirely reasonable to remove all processed meats from the diet as much as possible.  The following link goes to an article that nicely summarizes the take away points of the research.
