| This study lumps read meat with processed foods and alcohol

| Give it a few years, and your pancreas might very well come

| 50/50 on that. Had a near miss there. Borderline type 2.
| Blasted weight down from 115kg to 65kg and changed diet.
|
| Now I still eat pizza, pasta, bread and chocolate all the
| time. Just reasonable amounts of it as part of a balanced
| diet. And not the crap shovelled out by fast food
| restaurants.
