BBC NEWS | Health | Bacon link to bladder cancer risk

And boneless chicken!

BBC NEWS | Health | Bacon link to bladder cancer risk:
"Harvard scientists found people who ate bacon at least five times a week were 59% more likely to develop the disease than those who never did.

They also found people who frequently ate skinless chicken had a 52% greater risk. Chemicals called nitrosamines and heterocyclic amines may be to blame.

The study appears in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition."

BTW Remember that marinading is reported to cut down on the nitrates!
