Answer 1

Eventually but first you go through overweight, gallstones, hardening of the arteries, heart disease and cancer - it wont do any harm if eaten occasionally.

Answer 2

The fry-up, it's great isn't it? Of course, all this bowel cancer nonsense and obesity dilemma is scaremongering,

any balanced diet is fine, include fry-ups with that (not every day, as it won't give you much fibre, and don't eat cheap, tasteless sausages!)

i'm sure i read somewhere that grapefruits were bad for you too! so don't take it too seriously!

Answer 3

Eating the fry up will give you cancer, or save you from cancer depending on the report you read.  The truth will lie between the two.

But surely it's going to increase the likelihood of a heart attack, more than it would any cancer.

Answer 4

According to certain "News" reports, whatever you do means you will get cancer or become obese or just generally have a bad life. I wouldn't worry about it because as you say they will change their minds soon. Enjoy your breakfast x

Answer 5

Eat and be merry, for at the end of your life you will die anyway.

Answer 6

Sorry, I'm American and I don't know what that is.  But if it tastes good it will probably kill you somehow.  That's usually how things go, right?

Answer 7

On a regular basis it may increase your chances of arteriosclerosis. The odd one here and there a week isn't going to have much impact alone.Your over all diet needs to be balanced though

Answer 8

well while I've been in the food industry they've said bacon,coffee,sweeteners and all sort of other things will kill you so why bother just get on with life and enjoy yourself we are all going to die some day anyway

Answer 9

Spot on as next week it will probably be a miracle cure for a whole host of diseases.
