That is, eating 50 grams of processed meat per day — about one hot dog — increases your risk of colorectal cancer, on average, by 21 percent. So, to remind NASCAR fans that eating hot dogs will kill them, the D.C.-based Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine bought a billboard ad near the Indianapolis Motor Speedway that reads: "Warning: Hot Dogs Can Wreck Your Health." The billboard, a photo of four deliciously grilled hot dogs tucked into a cigarette packet, is pretty benign compared to these. But the rhetoric, alas, is not. “A hot dog a day could send you to an early grave,” PCRM nutrition education director Susan Levin, said in a press release. "Processed meats like hot dogs can increase your risk for diabetes, heart disease, and various types of cancer. Like cigarettes, hot dogs should come with a warning label that helps racing fans and other consumers understand the health risk.” |
