It’s no surprise that managing diseases like heart disease and diabetes has proven difficult and often frustrating for doctors, patients and insurance companies alike.
Here is a recent research article that points out the fact that processed meats-say it ain’t so-like bacon, salami, sausage and the like are linked to increased likelihood of heart disease and diabetes.
Might I just add…ALL processed foods are suspect on these particular diseases because of the sodium and preservatives alone. While I would be tempted to eat bacon coated in dirt just because it’s, well, bacon, for a long time now the risks vastly outweigh the momentary benefit.
