Interesting that the story never explains exactly how the conclusion was reached that bacon causes cancer. The closest mention is "EATING any processed meat like pork sausages, bacon and ham...significantly boosts the risk of bowel cancer..." The article then goes on with the usual maintain a moderate weight, exercise, etc tips. So why was bacon singled out to be the bane of modern (at least British) society du jour?
