It’s bad news for sausage sizzle lovers!
New research from the University of Leeds in the UK has found consuming an average of 25 grams of processed meat a day can increase a person’s risk of dementia by up to 44%.
Processed meats include items like sausages, bacon or salami – the tastiest ones!
The study also found there was a link between unprocessed red meat, such as beef, veal and pork, and the reduction of the risk of “all-cause dementia”.
The same consumption of processed meat was also found to increase a person’s risk of suffering from Alzheimer’s Disease later in life.
Although we should note that this was an observational study, which means a true link couldn’t be identified but merely theorised.
Phew! There is still hope then for the beloved sanga.
