A new study investigates the link between processed meat, sugar-sweetened beverages, and trans fatty acids, to diseases such as cancer, heart disease and type 2 diabetes.
The data showed that people who ate as little as one hot dog a day when it comes to processed meats had an 11% greater risk of type 2 diabetes and a 7% increased risk of colorectal cancer than those who didn’t eat any.
Who eats a hotdog a day? That seems … high.
Also the researcher’s comments at the bottom counteract the title, suggesting a balanced diet and not to panic.
If my schedule was tight enough and the hotdogs were convenient enough, I could see myself doing that. They’re a classic street food, so it’s not like that’s an unthinkable scenario.
My mother in law had been eating a ton of them because she thought they were a health food and she was trying to diet and be healthy
Your mother in law sounds like a moron. I have one of those too
Yeah there’s few synapses firing up there at all. But don’t worry she still votes
Also 7% greater risk for something that’s only a 4% lifetime risk just moves the needle to 4.28% chance… So if 10000 people ate hotdogs every day then only 28 more of them would get colorectal cancer? Sounds like a fair trade for a ton of hotdogs
