      Explaining to my kids they were made out of leftover hog parts, including the anus, was enough to put us all off hotdogs forever…hogbutt on a bun! 🌭

      Thats like the whole point of a hot dog though. Don’t ask what it is made of, you know its not good but you are going to eat it anyway.

      I mean how bad can they be if you aren’t going to paste the text here?

      Sure, you post this the day before the biggest hot dog day of the year in the US. 😭

      As with most things that cause cancer, people tend to not care. Tobacco, alcohol, cured meats … directly into the veins.

      This seems a bit alarmist.

      FTA:
      > eating the equivalent of one hot dog a day is associated with roughly an 18% higher risk of colorectal cancer 

      Very few people eat cured meats daily.  And, although it’s not stated in the article, I seem to remember the average lifetime risk of colon cancer is about 2%.  So an 18% increase in relative risk brings the absolute risk up to 2.36%.  Everyone should assess their own risks, but a 0.36% increase in risk isn’t enough for me swear off all cured meats.

      Because the risk is relatively low compared to so many other things. Also, the meat processors of the world would pressure the media outlets if the incessantly ran news stories about „dangerous, deadly, fatal hot dogs.“ They’d pull ads and that’s real money, and that’s what the media listens to.

      Lalalalalalalalalalalala I can’t hear you 🙉 hold up I have to eat this hot dog 🌭

      If you are eating enough hot dogs where that is a serious concern I don’t think the hot dogs are going to be the actual problem

      Do hot dogs really cause cancer? My uncle ate them daily, s
      moked and drank hard liquor and lived to 89

      I thought, based on the doctrine of signatures, that eating assholes would be good for the asshole.

      I sit here reading this while eating hot dogs and battling rectal cancer… isn’t it ironic?

    21. nenmayk on

      why are they sold? in a for profit health-care the government likes when you are sick….additional tax revenue

      I’m in CA where literally everything is labeled that it’s going to give you cancer. At a certain point you stop caring about those warnings. You can take the glizzy from my cold, dead fingers.

    25. CoolTomatoh on

      The perfect time to share this article. Maybe this becomes a topic at a family 4th of July- instead of eating 2 or 3 hot dogs, have just one

    26. looselyhuman on

      I wonder if colon cancer rates are higher in places like northern italy (200 types of salami) and Germany (lots of sausages)?

    29. NeedleGunMonkey on

      That site also causes cancer with all the ads it has but also doesn’t reach most Americans.

      That’s because the science is shoddy and even the laypeople recognize that.

      When a newspaper cites a study and they don’t describe it well but everyone knows the journalist who wrote the article is just trying to promote and justify their vegetarian lifestyle people ignore it.

      Even if the journalist is not a vegetarian but they sensationalize the story people will ignore it.

      When journalist make claims about causation but the study is observational that damages the claim too. When they fail to even include the hazard ratios (like the study here) or to explain how to interpret hazard ratios they do a disservice.

      Lastly, when they create a laundry list of potential harms (meat, heme iron, cooking, and nitrites) they weaken the case and even demonstrate that no one even knows what the culprit is.

      Instead, write a balanced objective and complete story, focus on one harm, (like nitrites), and describe the science thoroughly including the strengths and weaknesses of the design.

      Seeing all these hot dogs makes me want to eat some hot dogs!! Headed to Costco right now!

      *“I find pastrami to be the most sensual of all the salted, cured meats”.* But I’ll go with a hot dog on the 4th.

      If it was so dangerous then it should be banned and taken off the market.
