so, I was reading how cooked foods like bread, fries, coffee and hot dogs (fyi hot dogs are smoked for 2 days at the factory) are linked to cancer by a carcinogen called acrylamide.
then I thought about how sunburn is known to cause melanoma, then how cigarettes cause cancer, then how gallons of diesel oil have warnings that used diesel oil, but not new fresh oil cause cancer.
and I thought “wow it looks like anytime something gets burnt, it produces cancer”. sure enough I found studies that wood stoves are linked to cancer, that people who live around smelters get cancer.
the hardest thing to find was that coffee contains acrylamide, I googled it, no luck, then one day I looked at California mandated warnings for coffee on the online store Amazon, California requires things known to the state of California to cause cancer to be labeled.
I’m worried about a particular big coffee brand with burnt tasting coffee. because for example crust has more acrylamide than bread innards. the more burnt something is the more acrylamide it has.
I’m asking if it is. because I also believe anything burnt causes cancer even stuff they say doesn’t like liquors aged in burnt barrels, caramel and natural gas.
Feh for sz suicide will kill us faster so I have to stay on meds. The meds will cause weight gain so diabetes will get me after then. Then I can worry about cancer.
Some people drink coffee ,smoke cigarettes, eat hot dogs and bread their whole lives and don’t get cancer. Also too much sugar can cause cancer, as well as a lack of exercising, and processed foods(hotdogs) cause cancer as well. Although i think carcinogens(diet soda,cigarettes) are the cause
As far as meat, anyone remember the protest in the '70’s (how many of y’all weren’t even a gleem in your daddy’s eye?)
About the nitrates in hot dogs, bacon and beef that are proven to cause cancer when cooked at high heat.
The FDA knew, but the butchers wanted to keep using it because it it’s responsible for making the meat nice and red- which looks fresher.
No one will buy greyish colored meat.
Everything causes cancer. Its the universe’s way to control population. I would rather bring back sabre tooth tigers then deal with cancer. The long slow death is horrible. My 20 yr old cousin just got diagnosed last month with stage 3 brain cancer after they removed a tumor, he also had a stroke during the operation. I feel so bad him, he cant even drink legally yet.
It is true that many things develop carcinogens when burned, but I don’t think coffee falls into that category. Oil is the main one to watch out for. Never let the oil you cook with start to smoke. I’m not sure on the exact science behind it, but there is something about the release of free radicals. There is a difference between cooked food and burnt food. Cooked food is perfectly safe to eat.
chocolate is made from roasted cocoa beans. or is it cocao beans. either way I think it causes cancer. but it conflicts with my other theory that the more delicious something is the better it is for you. it’s kind of like a popular theory that your body craves things it needs like salty foods after drinking alcohol because alcohol depletes salt in the body.
the reason for this theory is that it seems like Everytime someone gets poisoned they say it tastes funny. and generally things that cause pleasure are things needed for life, even alcohol, which moderate drinking of has been proven to make people live longer. they say delicious food is bad for you but pain is worse and your body knows the difference between pain and pleasure.
Water ain’t okay, air ain’t okay, dirt ain’t okay…You use it all plus the food standing up to it’s knees in crap just eating and crapping lifestyle for our steaks so it needs so many hormones and anti-biotics, who really knows. Rest is just an advertisement for a product with web address or phone number at bottom of ad. Solution escapes us as the humans don’t work together, just work against each other with reckless abandon to squander it all or worse, sick predators at play.
Filter water if you want. Buy organic if you want. Don’t jog along the freeway if you want… Get free ranch meats if you want. Write a letter to your politician if you want.
Get your preventative care if you want so you catch anything early. Early problems are easier to treat.
Medicine runs because the doctors are teachers and must publish finding from research to keep their professor jobs. So research continues to happen, even if some of the finding sound questionable to the rest of us later…Some question the validity or research as it is fact that medicine professor must keep shooting out/testing ideas in order to keep employment at colleges. We do have the best medical care in the world according to some while others think it is a death mill where your health is ransomed for top dollar to health insurance companies and your ability to pay it all back.
Others say the stress from bad relationships causes cancer. Who knows?
