speaking of good eating habitsI read that article.....It was very interesting.Mabus, very interesting. We are what we eat ... I hope the parents in here take a look at this link. I'm sending that to my youngest daughter's boy friend.. he's a bacon junkieThanks for posting this...had been feeding kids hot dogs on occasion, but there's no real benefit and possible risk...I am curious if this latest study looked at ingredients of the various meats - not just the name. Nitrites have long been used as preservatives in cured meats, and they have long been associated with various childhood cancers, including leukemia. Does this study uncover perhaps another culprit in the deli? [QUOTE=babs10]I'm sending that to my youngest daughter's boy friend.. he's a bacon junkie[/QUOTE]
