Processed Meat Could Seriously Increase Your Risk Of Heart Failure, Scientists Warn
Ahh the classic bacon sandwich - it's exceptionally great the morning after the night before so we're not surprised it's one of the nations's favorite breakfasts.
But a new study has shown that the greasy treat could be doing some serious damage to our health. Darn it!
New research has shown that men who gorge on bacon, ham and sausages could be damaging their hearts and heading for an early grave.

A large study of more than 37,000 men found that processed meat significantly increases the risk of death from heart failure.
Those consuming the most - 75 grams per day or more - were twice as likely to die from heart failure than those who ate 25 grams or less.
Every extra 50 grams of processed meat, the equivalent of one or two slices of ham, increased heart failure risk by 8% and the chances of dying from the condition by 38%.
Last year a study of half a million people from 10 European countries concluded that diets high in processed meat raised the risk of heart disease, cancer and early death.
Processed meat has also been linked to an increased risk of bowel cancer.
