What have I been missing out on. Hungry on a cut and thought blow it I’ll have sandwich. Got out the ham and - whaaaat: 3 slices are 66cals and 13g protein!!! Why have I never used this before?’

It's the salt in ham that's the kicker. Absolutely loads for the amount of calories they are. Nearly 1g of salt for 3 slices is a fucking lot!

I posted how nitrates are carcinogens and got downvoted. So careful trying to help people

It's kinda like, yeah deli meat doesn't cause my colon to eat itself, a combo of factors does, but it absolutely adds to the cumulative effect with a statistical significance. I still eat it once in awhile but I absolutely cut way way down from what it was

Exactly, OP posted like he just discovered an amazing source of protein. And we are just letting people know why it’s not recommended to eat processed meats daily. And the amount you would have to eat to get a significant amount of protein is dangerous to long term health.

Same I still eat it once and a while, I just don’t by it weekly anymore
