Meat Doesn't Pose a Cancer Risk

Despite the world and his wife lecturing us that meat causes cancer, and that we must cut down, new research indicates that it makes bugger all difference to the chances of you getting cancer if you cut down on meat eating or not!

Colour me "surprised"..NOT!

Needless to say, Nanny and her acolytes are not best pleased when confronted with facts.

The World Health Organization has classified red and processed meats as cancer-causing. Public health bodies worldwide urge people to limit their intake of red and processed meat to reduce their cancer risk. The NHS advises that people who eat 90g of meat a day – equivalent to three thin slices of roast meat – should cut down to 70g.

As such, these lecturing busybodies will ignore science and continue to tell us to cut down.

Oh, and let us not forget that Nanny has a new string to her anti-meat bow, namely the alleged environmental impact of eating meat.

Sigh!

Fruit Juices Cause Cancer...Except They Don't!

In a veritable media splurge, lead by the Mail, hapless fruit juice drinkers (remember folks fruit juice is part of Nanny's Five a Day!) have been confronted with lurid headlines telling them that fruit juice will give them cancer.

All very frightening and worrisome, until that is you bother to check what the actual risk of getting caner is..according to the BMJ it is 1.12%!

Nanny and her lickspittles in the media do themselves no favours by this nonsensical and idiotic scaremongering!

More "Scientific" Bollocks - Hot Tea Causes Cancer

Drinking very hot tea almost doubles the risk of cancer, a new study says https://t.co/K3YIZZDUfV

— CNN (@CNN) March 21, 2019

Here's why this is bollocks:

1 People don't drink very hot tea, they let it cool.

2 People (at least the Brits) add milk to tea.

3

excuse me? it raises your risk of *oesophageal* cancer, which is fairly rare. Drinking 3 cups of v hot tea a day raises avg risk from ≈0.06% a year to ≈0.1% a year, if I've read it right.

The thing that really raises your risk is getting older, so try not to do that https://t.co/ldtZgYEep5

Sugar Causes Lung Cancer, Not Smoking..Apparently!

I'll just leave this (from the Coconut Research Centre) here, but would observe that it sounds like utter bollocks:

"It is quite possible that smoking, by itself, may not be enough to cause cancer. Sugar may be the catalyst that makes tobacco so dangerous. In fact, cancer depends on sugar as its primary source of energy. Without sugar, cancer could not survive."

By that token, if people stopped eating food altogether, then their cancer cells would die of starvation and they wouldn't be killed by cancer.

Drink Booze To Minimise Risk of Cancer

How much #alcohol to ingest that will minimise #cancer risk & mortality? Major study of 100,000 people shows least risk is 1-3 drinks / week 😳. No drinking at all is worse and obviously heavy drinking is worst 😒.https://t.co/TEwY2ThuZn pic.twitter.com/0ZHoBXT1LL

Nanny Bans Bacon and Booze

Nanny's chums from The World Cancer Research Fund (WRCF) have conducted a study into cancer and have determined that, if we follow a strict no booze no bacon diet, then we can live to a ripe old age and feel thoroughly miserable.

For good measure WRCF say that all sugary drinks should also be shunned, people should “stick to water” as part of efforts to cut their risk by up to 40%.

They have issued a 10 point plan (diktat) that Nanny will doubtless try to enforce.

Cutting cancer risks | 10 recommendations

1. Be a healthy weight. Keep your weight within the healthy range and avoid weight gain in adult life
2. Be physically active. Be physically active as part of everyday life – walk more and sit less
3. Eat a diet rich in wholegrains, vegetables, fruit and beans. Make wholegrains, vegetables, fruit, and pulses (legumes) such as beans and lentils a major part of your usual daily diet
4. Limit consumption of ‘fast foods’ and other processed foods high in fat, starches or sugars. Limiting these foods helps control calorie intake and maintain a healthy weight
5. Limit consumption of red and processed meat. Eat no more than moderate amounts of red meat, such as beef, pork and lamb. Eat little, if any, processed meat
6. Limit consumption of sugar-sweetened drinks. Drink mostly water and unsweetened drinks
7. Limit alcohol consumption. For cancer prevention, it’s best not to drink alcohol
8. Do not use supplements for cancer prevention. Aim to meet nutritional needs through diet alone
9. For mothers: breastfeed your baby, if you can. Breastfeeding is good for both mother and baby
10. After a cancer diagnosis: follow our recommendations, if you can. Check with your health professional what is right for you.

I for one will do exactly what I have always done when it conmes to Nanny's advice, ignore it.

The more strident and restrictive her advice, the less likely people are going to follow it!

There is absolutely no point living to a ripe old age, if you are going to have to live a life of misery to get to that old age.

Street Lights Don't Cause Cancer Nor Induce Nosebleeds

Sadly Nanny has created such a nation of morons and simpletons, that Gateshead council has had to issue a public notice stating that street lights don't cause cancer.

I dare say this notice will immediately be used by the conspiracy theorists as further proof of the "conspiracy".

BBC Repeats Cancer UK's Lie That Obesity Causes Cancer

The BBC is now repeating Cancer UK's lie that obesity causes cancer.

"Being overweight or obese is a growing cause of cancer in the UK while cases caused by smoking are falling, according to a large study."

Obesity does NOT cause cancer, it is a risk factor.

There is a difference between a CAUSE and a RISK.

It would be nice if the PR department of Cancer UK, and the BBC journalists could grasp that difference!

Cancer Research UK Weighs In On Obesity

Cancer Research UK has weighed in on obesity.

According to Cancer Research "obesity is the UK's biggest cause of cancer after smoking".

Cancer Research then go on to define a "healthy weight" by invoking BMI.

Well here are a few wee points:

1 Obesity might well be a "risk factor" (as indeed are all other things in our lives..eg food, drink, exercise, lifestyle, cleaning products, genes etc), but it it NOT a CAUSE of cancer!

2 BMI as a means of identifying a healthy weight is bollocks, as everyone apart from Nanny knows.

3 Cancer Research, I thought, is meant to use its funds to research cures for cancer rather than preach against the obese.

Nanny Bans Golden Brown

Oh dear, those of you who like golden brown crisps and biscuits are in for a disappointment.

Nanny will ban golden brown biscuits and crisps, as from next April.

For why?

Nanny's new rules force manufacturers to reduce acrylamide, a chemical found in burnt food which may lead to a higher risk of cancer.

The Telegraph quotes industry figures who said the products would now be baked at lower temperatures for longer, meaning they would lose their colour but not their crunch.

How absurd!

Fear not, it's not all bad, the salt and sugar (that Nanny also hates) in these products will remain!

The Dangers of Standing

Nanny has long hated the fact that we sit on our arses all day, she thinks we should be up moving around or at least standing around.

In fact she has managed to link prolonged periods of sitting to cancer, type 2 diabetes and speeding up ageing.

However, in an amusing twist, it appears that standing is also dangerous.


Those who stand up for prolonged periods of time are more susceptible to cardiovascular diseases, the study published in the American Journal of Epidemiology has found.

Well then, if we can't stand or sit shall we simply lie down in or coffins and be done with it?

I am sure Nanny would prefer that!

Euro Nanny Hates Booze

My thanks to a loyal reader who pointed me in the direction of an article in the Independent that warns about nanny having a go at drinkers again.

A report by United European Gastroenterology wants alcohol sales to be restricted and minimum pricing introduced.

For why?

Seemingly Europe needs to be weaned off its “deeply embedded” fondness for alcohol.

Apparently Europe drinks more alcohol than any other part of the world and consequently has the highest rate of ill-health and premature death linked directly to it.

Seemingly the Brits are to blame in part (a swelling of national pride!) because of the 24-hour availability of alcohol in the UK. However, we only rank eight in the boozer league (Lithuania comes out top).

Notwithstanding that, Euro Nanny wants evening sales banned, minimum pricing introduced etc etc.

Euro Nanny can F Off!

Eat More Cheese

Contrary to Nanny's current advice, and reminiscent of her advice some decades ago, it is now deemed good for you to eat more cheese.

The Telegraph reports that eating cheese could stop you from developing liver cancer and boost liver health, according to new research.

The study, from Texas A&M University, found that aged cheeses such as brie and cheddar have the potential of boosting life expectancy by up to 25 per cent.

This is because these cheeses contain a compound called 'spermidine', though to prevent liver fibrosis and 'hepatocellular carcinoma', the most common type of liver cancer.

I dare say in a few years time, scientists will discover that smoking is in fact good for you (as they believed in the 17th century).

Cheesus!

Posh Crisps Cause Cancer

Seemingly posh crisps could cause cause cancer, a study by government-backed scientists has found, as they contain high levels of acrylamide, a known carcinogen.

The Telegraph reports that tests conducted by Fera Science on behalf of campaign group Changing Markets, found t he highest levels of the chemical were found in Tyrells "Sweet Potato Lightly Salted" crisps, which contained more than three times the recommended amount, according to European food standards.

According to EU benchmarks crisps should not contain more than 750 milligrams per kilogram of acrylamide. Despite this Tyrells "Sweet Potato Lightly Salted" crisps contain 2486 milligrams per kilogram.

The research also found Morrisons' "Cheese and Onion Popped Potato Snacks" and Aldi's premium brand "Passions Barbeque Flavour Popped Potato Chips" contained twice as much acrylamide than the recommended level.

Given we are leaving the EU, we can safely ignore their health warnings.

Failing that, if you are worried, simply resort to eating cheap crisps.

Nanny's Chip Inspector

The other day Nanny's chums from the Food Standards Agency (FSA) stated that crispy roast potatoes and browned toast (starchy foods that are roasted/toasted form acrylamide) cause cancer.

All very well and tedious, except for the fact that there is no proof that there is a link to cancer.

Anyhoo, undeterred by lack of scientific evidence and a general drubbing by all and sundry that the advice is bollocks, Nanny is now gearing up to enforce a "no burn" rule in pubs, cafes and restaurants.

The Telegraph reports that under a new European Union food hygiene directive, due to be adopted in the UK by the the end of 2017 (ermm aren't we leaving?), pubs and restaurants will be told to take reasonable steps to reduce acrylamide in food or face enforcement measures.

It means those eateries continuing to serve "high acrylamide" foods, such as brown roast potatoes or burned Yorkshire puddings, could be visited by the Food Standards Agency's enforcement officers and face hefty fines.Restaurants will be offered a guide full of tips on how to reduce acrylamide in food which will also be used by the FSA's enforcement team to gauge whether levels are unacceptably high.

The guide will include colour charts designed to be kept in kitchens to show chefs which shades of yellow and brown are safe for cooked chips and potatoes to match.

It will also advise chefs to buy types of potatoes which are low in starch and blanch chips and potatoes before frying or roasting, and cooking them at a lower heat and for less time.

Were this 1 April I would have assumed that this was a joke, but it isn't!!

Well I don't know about anyone else, but if I want dark brown tatties etc in a restaurant I will order and eat them, and if I don't I won't. I don't need Nanny stepping in to help me order food when eating out!

Booze Offset By 150 Minutes of Weekly Exercise

According to a study published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine modest exercise of 150 minutes per week can offset the harmful effects of booze.

The researchers, from the University of Sydney, analysed data from nationally representative health surveys carried out in England and Scotland between 1994 and 2006.

They found that, after taking into account external factors, there is a direct association between drinking larger amounts of alcohol and death from all causes and from cancer.

The researchers found that the risk was reduced/eliminated among those who are physically active, which they define as requiring at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity physical activity every week.

Fair enough, as it rather knocks on the head Nanny's doom laden lectures telling us not to drink.

However, is it not possible that those who are active are generally healthier than others, and that it is that general level of good health that motivates/energises them to be active (ie energy and activity are by products of good health).

As such is it not the old story that some people will die younger than others, no matter what, and that "one size fits all" recommendations for booze/exercise do not work?

Life Causes Cancer

It would appear that modern life is killing children, with the number of youngsters diagnosed with cancer rising 40% in the past 16 years because of air pollution, pesticides, poor diets and radiation.

That at least is what researchers at the charity Children with Cancer UK believe, they claim that there are now 1,300 more cancer cases a year compared with 1998.

Apparently, the increase is most notable in teenagers and young adults aged between 15 and 24, where the incidence rate has risen from around 10 cases in 100,000 to nearly 16.

Researchers say that although some of the rise can be explained by improvements in cancer diagnoses and more screening, the majority is probably caused by environmental factors.

Please note that word "probably", ie they are not certain!

Anyhoo, if the researchers are to be believed amongst the list of causes are:

- air pollution
- mobile phones
- BBQ's
- solvents in household cleaners
- power lines
- CT scans
- bright light at night etc

The list is endless!

The solution?

Stop breathing and stop living!

Alternatively we could go back to Victorian times, before most of these factors existed (air pollution aside). Unfortunately the infant and child mortality figures were off the scale in those days, and the chances are you would die of TB, cholera, pneumonia, measles, whooping cough or simply "old age" at around 35.

Nowadays most babies born are likely to survive into teenage-hood, hence the statistical increase in those with cancer. 

In other words, because we are living longer and our babies don't die at birth or in infancy, we have swapped one form of death for another.

Hot Drinks Cause Cancer - Probably!

The World Health Organisation (WHO), the organisation that spread aids in Africa via infected needles and that has mismanaged the Ebola and Zika outbreaks, has decreed that hot drinks "probably" cause cancer.

In other words they don't know!

Not withstanding the fact that WHO hasn't a clue, it has decreed that hot drinks should always be left for a few minutes to lower the temperature, or cooled down with milk to avoid disease.

The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), an agency of the WHO, said very hot drinks of 65C and over double the risk of developing cancer of the oesophagus.

However, the panel found there was no evidence that coffee or tea causes cancer and said any link was because of the hot temperature of the drink. Ironically, a few years ago, IARC claimed that coffee did cause cancer!

Dr Christopher Wild, director of IARC, is quoted by the Telegraph:

"These results suggest that drinking very hot beverages is one probable cause of oesophageal cancer and that it is the temperature, rather than the drinks themselves, that appears to be responsible."

Aside from the word "probable" destroying any facet of credibility of this so called "research", who the fark drinks liquids at 65 degrees plus?

That's too bloody hot, you would burn yourself!

The WHO should focus on sorting out the mess it has created wrt Zika and Ebola, instead of sticking its nose into peoples hot beverages!
