Quote
Dr Rui Jiang, leading the research, said high levels of nitrites are used in cured meats such as bacon as preservatives, anti-bacterial agents and colour fixatives.

He said reactive nitrogen species, molecules that can damage body tissues, might be the key.

He said: "Nitrites generate reactive nitrogen species that may cause damage to the lungs, producing structural changes resembling emphysema."....."Although smoking remains the single most significant cause of COPD this research seems to suggest other factors may result in increased risk of the disease."  


I'm doing well...have given up smoking (thanks in part to the new University rules, and have given up bacon, along with other meats, and haven't eaten fish for nearly a year.

Figured I'd best put my money where my mouth is. It's something I've struggled with for a while. Now my stools are good and firm and my farts don't stink. I feel healthier and have more energy and eat really well, spending less money on meals. Cooking is a pleasure.

Also,since I find wars abhorrent and have no wish to take another's life,I thought that logically I would extend that towards animals as well.

Quote
"For as long as men massacre animals, they will kill each other. Indeed, he who sows the seed of murder and pain cannot reap joy and love."

         Pythagoras

Quote
"The time will come when men such as I will look upon the murder of animals as they now look on the murder of men."

 Leonardo da Vinci.

Quote
  "If a group of beings from another planet were to land on Earth -- beings who considered themselves as superior to you as you feel yourself to be to other animals -- would you concede them the rights over you that you assume over other animals?"

   George Bernard Shaw

Quote
"You have just dined, and however scrupulously the slaughterhouse is concealed in the graceful distance of miles, there is complicity."

          Ralph Waldo Emerson

Quote
"I cannot fish without falling a little in self-respect...always when I have done I feel it would have been better if I had not fished."

          Henry David Thoreau

Quote
The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated."
    "To my mind, the life of a lamb is no less precious than that of a human being."

        Mahatma Gandhi

Quote
 "I am not interested to know whether vivisection produces results that are profitable to the human race or doesn't...The pain which it inflicts upon unconsenting animals is the basis of my enmity toward it, and it is to me sufficient justification of the enmity without looking further."

          Mark Twain

"A large quake has struck Christchurch, with reports of buildings and houses down.

Witnesses said there were buildings down all around Cathedral Square in the city, with the church destroyed. Witnesses said there would be "deaths" this time.

Christchurch resident Sean Scanlon said it was by far the biggest shake since the original September 4 quake. The power was out and phone lines jammed.

Christchurch Hospital was being evacuated, a spokewoman for the hospital said."

Twitter going nuts saying buildings falling over etc...
