Bacon buttie bladder worry

BARMY health experts are warning that eating bacon can give you cancer. A bladder tumour link was found in people tucking into the treat five times a week. The Sun’s own GP, Dr Carol Cooper, played down the scare: “If you look at anything closely enough, eating tons of it would be bad for your health. Lots of people will read this and think they must not go near bacon, which would be wrong.” The daft bacon warning follows a series of killjoy food scares. The bacon research followed the diets of 135,000 adults. It found a 59 per cent increased risk of bladder cancer in those who ate excessive amounts of bacon. The Sun 29/11/06.
