      Since 1982, they have been monitoring the health of 130,000 people. Since then, 11,173 subjects have developed dementia. Scientists found that the risk of developing age-related cognitive decline is 14% higher for those who eat processed red meat at least twice a week. And this is bad news for fans of fried eggs with bacon and sandwiches with sausage for breakfast, they say.

      According to endocrinologist Zukhra Pavlova, nitrates in processed meat (used as preservatives) convert into nitrosamines when heated — chemical compounds capable of damaging brain neurons and potentially carcinogenic.

      Each additional serving of processed meat per day adds 1.6 years of cognitive aging, experts say.

      Dishes like fried eggs with bacon and sausage sandwiches should generally be excluded from daily consumption, advises gastroenterologist Galina Bartashevich. They increase the risk of colorectal cancer, rectal cancer, pancreatic and prostate cancers, type 2 diabetes, and heart diseases, explains the doctor.

      “Such products are generally better to include in your menu as rarely as possible,” says Dr. Bartashevich.
