Keep away from the Dogs
It may come as no surprise that hot dogs and cold cuts aren't exactly health foods, but new research reveals just how bad processed meats really may be.
Announced last week, a new study from Harvard School of Public Health reports that processed meats have a "shockingly high" association with type 2 diabetes. A daily serving of 50 grams of processed meat, about the same as two slices of cold cuts or one hot dog, can increase your risk of the disease by 50 percent, according to the researchers. And that applies to anyone, fat or slim, warned head researcher An Pan, a Harvard research fellow, in a statement.
The research, published online in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, is based on data from three major US studies involving more than 200,000 adults, some of whom have been followed for nearly 30 years.
Other options for your barbecue? Unprocessed red meats, such as ground beef and pork, can also raise your diabetes risks, but not to the same degree, the researchers reported.
Even better, replace a daily serving of red meat with a serving of nuts, which is associated with a 21 percent lower risk of diabetes, according to health website MyHealthNewsDaily. Substituting meat with a portion of low-fat dairy can reduce your risk by 17 percent; whole grains, by 23 percent.

Our mailmen have sprays to keep the dogs away but are not very effective
Dogs should only have onions a a light smattering of French mustard
no chilli no spice and hold the mayonaise
and to finish the worst food off How about a can of Coca Cola
Lost, I would think Cola would be bad for a dog if it's sugar, sugar free and if it didn't have the dark in it, it would still be harmful for sure, so no good although I am sure they could handle the milk, I am not sure. Do you remember Mr Bad food, he had email which he would talk about foods which are harmful to people although everything seemed to be headed for an early grave with all foods, so I cut myself off there list since I hate the ideal of being 24 hours paranoid or just going for the gusto 24 hours.
Listen,
Do you want to know a secret?,
Do you promise not to tell?, whoa oh, oh.
Closer,
Let me whisper in your ear,
Say the words you long to hear.
