I'm kind of ashamed to say it, but I seem to be one of the lucky ones who burn fat quickly. Always low numbers on cholesterol and all that. I'm the only one I know my age not on blood pressure meds. I've also been smoking cigs & consuming too much alcohol for around 40 years.
I'm a firm believer in "I refuse to tip-toe through Life just so I can arrive safely at Death".
That being said, I don't know how smoke on food could be all that bad unless, as JJ said, you're eating creosote.
Everything causes cancer.....
Enjoy life. You might get T-Boned at an intersection tomorrow....

Most of these crazy reports are put out by researchers having to put out something, true or false, to get the next budget released. Then a year or so later the same author takes the opposite stance for more research money.

In the 70's you had the Incredible Edible Egg. By the 80's Eggs and all that nasty Cholesterol would kill you deader than a 357 Magnum. Enter the 90's and to date the Egg is the most perfect food you could eat with reports that Quail Eggs have a variety of Healing properties. Wait a while, there will be a report stating " Tobacco, best thing known to man for Cardiovascular health and proper Lung function..."

Mom started smoking at age 16. Smoked no less than a pack a day, the last 25 years 2-3 packs a day. She passed the beginning of this year at 88 from complications of a broken Hip infection! She had Diabetes but lung and heart function was perfect. When your Number's up you die...JJ
 
Come on fellows...some of the correlations/causations are disputed indeed (saturated fat - CVD, salt - blood pressure), but it's pretty unanimous that smoking (tobacco) is bad for health.

Both my parents were smokers (one heavy smoker). Both died from cancers. There was no cancers in their immediate family. Their siblings , non-smokers, are around and kicking.
 
Nobody is endorsing Tobacco Smoking. The Point being made? It don't matter a whole lot what you do, eat, drink, smoke, run 5 miles a day and eat Yogurt...You have no idea when you are going to die and eating weeds and raw nuts, ain't necessarily going to keep you alive longer than enjoying a Cigar after Pizza and Beer with the boys. A good friend of my kids was a high school athlete, never smoked or drank. At 20 he keeled over eating his Wheaties from a brain aneurysm. Grandpa was a career Coal Miner. He smoked cigars, drank daily and at least two meals a day contained smoked or cured meats. He lived to see 90! With some exceptions, known poison, nuclear waste, can anybody really say this or that will kill you faster and doing A and B will let you live longer?...JJ
 
I am coming into this late. I chew tobacco, I drink, I work hard and late at night. I am raising a great family, I enjoy my life. When it's my time to go, so be it. I am not worried about smoked meats killing me.

Live life to its fullest and enjoy.

Exactly, anything can happen @ any time!!

Or you can Smoke for 47 years, go to Vietnam & come back alive, eat anything & everything, and a lot of it.

Then a "Doctor" can screw up & poke a hole in your Aorta during a routine out-patient procedure, and screw everything up for good!!!

Richard - smoked meats is horrible for you! Now with that being said you MUST get rid of the smoker ASAP. Where do you live again? I'll drop by and grab that smoker from you?
 
I swore off rolling my BBQ in rolling papers and smoking it YEARS ago because I heard the same thing.  Now I just eat it and it's a better experience all around.

NO it's the fats in the foods and NOTHING to do with smoking the food!!!
 
I only post this since it is a recent topic. Not promoting any diet or product.


For the last xxteen years I had borderline high cholesterol. Didn't concern me, didn't diet, but I always looked at butter, cream, lard as a treat.

As an experiment i've been enjoying saturated fats in the last 6-7 months, while keeping the lid on starch (sugar wasn't a problem....never had a sweet tooth). Check my posts...you will see a lot of backfat, cured fatty meats. Butter wouldn't last long in the butter dish. My rillette had more lard than meat. Pasta sauces cooked with 35% cream. 10 eggs (breakfast) a week+other dishes cooked with eggs. Never trashed the chicken skin. I also ate a lot of fatty fish, kept my almost daily avocado ration going. All the pork fat was from the pig I got in December. Traditionally raised, not factory farmed. I think that's an important point.

Had blood tests and anual checkup recently: LDL cholesterol way down, HDL cholesterol up (that's a good thing). Triglycerides way down (they werent high to begin with). All well below the high limits.


I know it's still anecdotal evidence buy in my case dietary fat-high tryglericed level is a disproved causation.

Something you want to keep in mind and look into if you run into health problems.

If interested in details PM me. And remember: fat is not your enemy if eaten right.

Stay healthy my friends.
