French study (n=92,000 adults - avg follow-up of 7Y) found that certain food additive emulsifiers (E471 for men and E407, E407a for women) may increase the risk of cancer, up to 46% higher risk of prostate cancer

    So, more red meat, lard, bacon fat, Jello salad with vegetables, cranberry sauce with orange rind and walnuts, and black coffee?

      Don’t forget the squirrel, and your comment was really light on the lard. Add lard 7 more times. Or was that just our hand me down handwritten cookbook?

        Seaweed is looking super sus atm

        Not seaweed in general, but “Processed eucheuma seaweed (thickener) (stabiliser) (gelling agent) emulsifier”

      But yeah, probably want to cut down on red meat and jello. The rest of that salad sounds pretty good though.

        Lime Jello, shredded carrots and cabbage, diced celery, and walnuts. Every holiday as a kid I was so stoked for Jello, but then … Oh God, it was ruined. When it was served to me I tried sucking the Jello off the veggies and spit out the veggies strategically hiding them, but that celery flavor ruined everything.

      Pretty much, perhaps with the exception of bacon fat. And I say this as someone who is mostly vegan. The point is that natural food ingredients > processed, mystery ingredients for health (as a general rule).
