Next Nanny State Target: Cooking Food
Posted by Dave Blount at December 3, 2007 8:28 PM
The moonbat drive to reduce humanity to prehistoric conditions in the name of political correctness presses onward in England, where authorities ask us to believe that cooking food is hazardous to our health:
Fresh fears have been raised over the safety of cooked foods as a wide-ranging study found for the first time that a common chemical caused by frying, roasting or grilling can double the risk of cancer in women.
Five years ago, scientists sparked a worldwide alert when they disclosed that many household foods contain the substance acrylamide, which was thought to be a probable cause of the disease.
Now a study involving 120,000 people — half of whom were women — has established a direct link between consumption of the chemical and the incidence of ovarian and womb cancer.
Research has shown that acrylamide is found in cooked foods such as bread, breakfast cereals, coffee and also meat and potatoes which had been fried, baked, roasted, grilled or barbecued.
That 120,000 is what's known as a Trojan number. It's put up front to make the study seem significant. To find the actual number of womb and ovarian cancer cases uncovered, the reader must wade to the 15th paragraph, where we learn there were only 327 and 300, respectively. These modest numbers are unlikely to convince many that cooking our food, like everything else that separates us from the beasts, must be limited for the sake of our health or the planet or the children or whatever.
