The problem is, of course, the comment "(and are as Dangerous as Cigarettes)". You see, that is bullshit.
.
Cigarettes increase your prospect for Cancer by 2000%. Processed meats by 18%. Lets look at what that means.
.
Lets just say 100 people out of 10,000 will get cancer if the don't eat bacon / sausage OR smoke.
.
Now, if those 10,000 all smoke, then 2,000 people would get cancer - all else people equal.
Now, if those 10,000 all eat bacon, then 118 people would get cancer.
.
So NO, not as dangerous as cigarettes.
