GREASY fry ups could increase the risk of bowel cancer by 63%, scientists claim - but it will not stop me from indulging in Bacon, Egg, Sausage, Tomato, Mushrooms, and a fried slice tomorrow.
According to media reports, a regular fried breakfast, often known as a heart stopper, has more than 700 calories, and tucking into processed meats eating 150 g per day could send the levels of risk soaring.
Stride into supermarket giant Tesco, and the aroma in the cafe section of their bigger stores - will invite you to indulge in a cooked breakfast, all for under a fiver - not forgetting the mug of white tea with two sugars.
Mainstream media love scaremongering their readers with these stories, it's the greasy side of journalism, excuse the pun.
But I think that Brits are intelligent enough to know when too much is too much.
It was reported in the Sunday papers that the Olympic star Rebecca Adlington said she missed a traditional roast dinner cooked by her mother. Good on her.
A little of what you love does you no harm atall.
Apparently, one in 18 men, and one in 20 women are struck down by bowel cancer.
Ofcourse, press, government, and scientists would have us live in a bubble protected from all the dangers that life throws at us.
Now, even an Egg tossed in a pan poses a threat.
I reckon I'll fly to the moon, I'll be safe there?
