Interested in your thoughts on this one, @GidMK https://www.theguardian.com/news/2018/mar/01/bacon-cancer-processed-meats-nitrates-nitrites-sausages …
The cancer risk from processed meats was only confirmed recently in part because it's really small, so until we did ENORMOUS (250k+) cohort studies, it was pretty hard to see

-
Also, the first ~3,000 words focus entirely on one group of chemicals and then there's only a single paragraph mentioning that the increased risk is likely due to a group of things including haem-iron and others
-
And the excuse for discarding all the other carcinogens that may be causing the cancer risk in people is terrible. "There remains no plausible explanation" is just nonsense, there are any number of mechanisms that aren't mentioned in this piecepic.twitter.com/y4N3GLcG3M
