Now I have 2 reasons I am going to go blind, only my mom never warned me about the computer!

I plan on doing both until I need glasses.

Hot dogs cause cancer...

# Children who ate 12 hot dogs per month had a 9.5 times increased risk of leukemia.

# Children who ate hot dogs once a week doubled their chances of brain tumors; twice a week, they tripled it.

# The children of men who ate franks often had an 11 times greater risk of leukemia than normal.

# Women who ate hot dogs during pregnancy doubled their offsprings chances of developing brain cancer.

# Kids who ate the most ham, bacon and sausage had a tripled risk of lymphoma.

# Kids who ate ground meat once a week had twice the risk of acute lymphocytic leukemia than those who ate none, and triple the risk when they ate two or more hamburgers weekly.

Since reading this crap my wife has hardly allowed a hot dog in the house.
