Bacon may be a staple of the American breakfast, but it's probably not a terrific idea to eat it every day. Or sausage or corned-beef hash, for that matter. Researchers from the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm pooled data from 15 studies and found that eating just over an ounce of these smoked and processed delicacies each day increased the risk of developing stomach cancer from 15% to 38%. The culprit may be the high salt content of such meats, which could irritate the lining of the stomach, or perhaps the nitrate and nitrite additives, which are known...

But a study from the Harvard School of Public Health showed that while those contaminants pose a danger, particularly for women of childbearing age, for most people the benefits of fish outweigh the risks. Eat modest servings of fish each week--particularly salmon and bluefish--and you may reduce your risk of coronary heart disease 36%.

...result is "discomfort, illness, weakness or pain that goes beyond the usual uneasy sensation." But that pain was not what the USDA was measuring - researchers were not going out and interviewing poor or homeless people about how they felt when they'd gone for a day without eating. What they could quantify was exactly how often people said that "We worried whether our food would run out before we got money to buy more," and how often they had cut the size of meals or skip them all together. As a result, we now get a study that paints...
