Cured Meat Danger

[dewittbros]

his last facial expression is hilarious!

[pasomare1]

ummm, Shaun, I cure my own meat, which I raise and butcher. If it doesn't contain nitrates and nitrites it's not cured, and botulinium will kill you a hell of a lot faster than copd.

[Tailback]

@pasomare1 Salt doesn't count as a nitrite IIRC. Humans have been salt curing meats for thousands of years.  Until only recently there were no nitrates in cured meats. Nitrates are faster so large commercial operations in the USA love them. So what if nitrates cause cancer? Don't get me started on hydrogynated fats. Real lard is healthier than butter, hydrogynated lard doesn't metabolize and causes cholesterol plaque.

These people better be told where to get off. I swear My whole family has lived into there 80's and 90's some even into the 100's and everyone of them cured there own meats. they canned, they hunted, and fished, cooked with cast Iron, on a wood burning stove. These doctors can Kiss my Glock, I'm sick and tired of being told what I can and cannot eat, whether or not i can defend myself and most of all that I cant pray anywhere I want !!!!! Welcome to the U.S.S.A.

[CON10NDOR]

DON'T WORRY FOLKS. IF YOU GET CANCER FROM EATING THOSE BAD BAD MEATS . THAT DOCTOR WILL BE GLAD TO CURE YOU WITH SOME NICE HEALTHY CHEMOTHERAPY OR GIVE YOU A NICE REJUVENATING DOSE OF RADIATION FOR IT. AND IF YOUR CHOPPERS WONT CHEW IT ANYMORE THE DENTIST WILL BE GLAD TO GIVE YOU A MOUTH FULL OF EXTRA SAFE MERCURY FILLINGS AND A FLUORIDE TREATMENT TO HELP YOU OUT. I SWEAR THOSE SMART DOCTORS HAVE ALL THE ANSWERS. AIN'T THEY JUST WONDERFUL.

[pubwvj]

Too bad they are promoting old data. There is a lot of newer scientific research which shows very different things. This is one of those classic fear and uncertainty mongering stories that lumps everything together and throws the baby out with the bath water. Sure, don't live on nitrates but some bacon or ham isn't going to hurt you. Moderation in all things and enjoy life.

[PhantomAct]

@LICKETYSPLITALNG I only recently saw something on it. They take the leg, cover it in a lot of salt, put some heavy weight on it and after 20 days, they hang it for ages, right?

[CSLFiero]

everything worth eating kills you a little bit. it's worth it, hippies.

[tripperthe]

@CSLFiero Plenty of hippies love bacon, I mean what stoned person doesn't love bacon.

[outhouse01]

@tripperthe A stoned muslim....but then again......

[divinedido]

If it doesn't clog the arteries, it's not worth eating!

[gotthkid2]

lol meat eaters are pissed :D

[PhantomAct]

Is there an alternative to the sodium nitrite preservatives?

[stankwho]

I quite eating that shit long ago, deli meats, bacon, jerkey. All total crap.

I feel SO much better! I go all organic now :)

[JDUBOIS666]

@stankwho Fag



[JDUBOIS666]

@stankwho Thats you choice Like its mine to think your a douchebag

[contreeman]

i bet a tree hugger/veg lover came up with this i diet hasn't change in 100 years just the amount of lazy people in this world that are not willing to sweat off what we eat. get behind a plow with a couple of mules pulling it and see how fast you loose weight. 3000 calories a day that would be called breakfast

[chuckbyf1]

Great! Somethin else to worry about. Who gives a shit. You have to go sometime.

[TheCaptainLulz]

You can have my bacon when you pry it from my cold dead hands!

[DackIsBack]

Blame nitrates and food additives, Not meat...

[JesusDillinger]

yeah, whatever you do, don't take any interest in basic human living skills. depend on big business to feed you.

[EatMyDuck84]

hey loser, you're lookin like a dumbass wrapped in a retard right about now. nitrates also occur in beets, carrots, leafy green vegetables, and well water. put down that spinach... you might get cancer. you state nitrates/nitrites cause copd as if its fact, but really the American Journal of etc. only found a correlation...not causation. theres a strong correlation between ice cream cosumption and drowning deaths. does ice cream cause people to drown? the only thing you proved is: u r dumb

[hectorturbo]

i agree to

[redicculus]

It wouldn't taste so good if it was really bad for you.

[fegolem]

MMmmm. I'm hungry for bacon.

[texNoz]

Don't just tell me.. Show me the studies..

I've seen over 20 studies that debunk exactly what you are saying.

Wearing a stethoscope around your neck with a few X-rays hanging off the wall and a doctor in your title doesn't make you a scientist. Unlike the majority of the comments here.. Show me the pudding mate because I don't believe you..

[LemmingHerda]

Damn straight.

.

Kill and process you own game/meat or just dry your bought meat from a local butcher and you will avoid a ton of this preservative crap.

[TonyParamatti]

fuck you... I always eat red meat....Red meat is very useful for human body

[ncfwhitetigress]

Good thing I don't eat that garbage.

[jclemens1970]

Your mommas a nitrate!

[mreisma]

well what if i make my own bacon, its completely organic, no nitrites. problem solved.

[Scrap5000]

@mreisma If you don't use nitrites then you risk botulism when you put it in the smoker...

[madisonelectronic]

I smell the PETA asshole in here.

[GeorgeLarson]

Just to put things in perspective. Beets, celery, eggplant, lettuce, radishes, spinach, and collard and turnip greens contain nitrates that convert naturally into nitrites in your stomach—where some of the nitrites combine with amines to form nitrosamines, some of which are known carcinogens. This natural chemical reaction presents no known problems for a healthy adult.

[Peopleareirritating]

Step 1:Hold your breath

Step 2:go to another video

Step 3: add this comment

Step 4:did you make it if you did you are a complete bastard

[Intiminator99]

Where is the control group? Maybe some people that eat certain cured meats also have an atrocious diet! Is it regional, cultural? Mississippi is the fattest state in the union. How much bacon do they eat in addition to all that other garbage?

[porkyfish]

Couldn't agree with you more...

[DrPaulClayton]

Good work - this is important info

[jws54]

anytime I see a doctor or an "expert with a white coat" talking about something AMERICANS and THE REST OF THE WORLD has eaten for centuries, I just chalk it up to gov't regs.

I think there is a french word or at least a word that has the letter "F" in it concerning

my felings about our "gov't". It ends in "em"

[madisonelectronic]

It ends in "em ALL" You have to eventually die of something. As Larry said,"Old age".

[Hadarslover]

Lol look at the doctor at the very end. The FDA are poisoning us. Sodium benzoate will kill us all =(

[darinnear]

Clear and present.

[shaunmason220]

why is it that they didn't mention that these harmful chemicals are added to processed "cured" food by companies? Real cured meat doesn't have these harmful additives, and is extremely healthy. No wonder why Americans are so unhealthy, we're so uneducated on food. I'm American, so im not bashing, but people need to wake up and get back to eating real food. Cured meat is healthy, unless its produced by kraft or phillip morris.

[rabbiteh]

@shaunmason220 cured meats are preserved products, and everyone knows if you want to preserve food, large amount of salt, and maybe some sodium nitrite will be involved. Cured meat or any preserved food products for that matter, will NEVER be healthy.

Bottom line is, if you want healthy, fresh non cured meat is the way to go.

[gotthkid2]

@shaunmason220 nothing more healthy then a vegetarian diet. NOTHING. its what were ment to be.

[SinkVortex]

@gotthkid2 Then why do we have incisors?

[parkerflyer99]

The American diet is a real killer and the leading reason why we have some many diseases in this country, as well as the lifestyle we lead in America. The American medical community wants us sick. Once we as individuals change our eating habits and lifestyles we will see real cures to diseases both physical and mental. "You are what you eat"! Try it! The only thing you'll lose is pounds and fatigue....unless one enjoys being fat and tired all the time.

[northnv]

wow man i really didnt realize that... I have my own garden and stuff from that lasts for weeks more so than the stuff put on the grocery shelves. Explains alot.

[porkyfish]

but choose people, will you choose cured meats which have longer terms in effect compared to uncured meat which have shorter terms in effect (i.e. botulism from Clostridium botulinum) which can be deadly in a basis of an hour or so.

N-nitrosoamines and nitrosomyoglobins are risky when consumed, but moderation still is the key. the FDA issued a 500 ppm limit for nitrates and 200 ppm for nitrites, any more of these limits can be risky. Nothing to worry about, coz this is maintained by industries.

[pisceswoman87]

Modern refrigeration is a wonderful thing! No nitrites for me, please.

[porkyfish]

Refrigeration still has thresholds in keeping the microbial load low. Perfect reason why preservatives were discovered. I'd rather have miniscule accumulated cancer risk from nitrites rather than die within a few hours due to botulism.

There are pre-cooking treatments done to cured meat to wash off nitites, remember, nitrites are still ionic even the nitrosamine molecule, so it can be washed off with boiling.

Here in the Philippines, botulism deaths are near to none! Beause we boil the first!

[m1kenas]

too bad,more people are not aware of this and many other harmful substances that they are exposed to because the mainstream media do not reports these things. they do not want to harm the sponsors.there is too much money involved.

[GLOBALRAPTUREdotcom]

great info ...
