Answer 1

quiet possibly

i have had those as my main stay-but by getting other meats and good vegitables it will help you-chicken is real good and just limit yourself-now i rarely eat that stuff-real corned beef is the bomb and u can freeze it in portions-so u dont have to cook each time.-hebrew national hot dogs are good too and u can get em buy one get one free -keep an eye up -and turkey sausage -pork can really get u-and the additives in prossed meat!

Answer 2

You are not necessarily headed for any health problems, but you should balance your diet with fruits, veggies and things other than these processed meats.

Even the manufacturers of the meat products would tell you that. Ease up a little bit on the processed meats. You can mix in some cubed ham with your chef's salad.

By the way, if you like any kind of fish, including processed, try mixing that into your diet too. The natural oils are very good for you.

The Ancient Greeks believed in "all things in moderation." That's a pretty good rule of thumb for modern folks as well.

Answer 3

Hot dogs are the only food that can cause brain cancer. It's the only food substance with the right chemical mix that can cross the blood brain barrier. (But, you have to be like a lab rat and eat alot of them for that to happen.)

As for everything else, like hot dogs, they are processed foods with tons of fat, chemicals (and stuff you don't even want to know about) in them.

But corned beef (not canned) is great - I say that only because I love it lol.

Answer 4

Well.. It's definitely bad. My uncle died of cancer in his 30s because he had the same addiction as you. All the chemicals which are used to prevent the meat from turning bad. It's as good as eating a corpse which is preserved.
Reduce the risk of cancer by taking healthy protein instead. A good and tasty way is to take a berries protein shake from Nutrilite. You can purchase it from Amway distributors.

Take care!

Answer 5

Pretty bad. I read somewhere where in a landfill from the 50's, everything had decayed and went back to the earth, and there lie a 50 year old hotdog, looking like it was just placed there.
