Hotdog as a junk food

I agree with you madebyrobyn but i wont eat a hotdog.. I dont find them appetizing.

there are many things that are made from cow or pig that made for different foods , I mean bacon is from a pig right? hamburger is made from a cow... So they combine it to make it a hot dog nothing wrong with that, but there is more to a hot dog than just that or at least I think so anyway not that I actually read the label...

Hotdogs sure are tasty but I think the healthiest thing has to be the tomato sauce! I usually wouldn't suggest that tomato sauce is a healthy thing to eat but I guess it is a comparitive thing! Go the hotdogs!

A study by Peters et.al. in 1980 and 1987 found that children eating more than 12 hotdogs (includes all processed meats like bacon) per month have nine times the normal risk of developing childhood leukemia. A study by Sarusua and Savitz found that children who ate hotdogs one or more times per week were also at higher risk of brain cancer. The reason is that hotdogs contain nitrites as preservative which when cooked forms carcinogenic N-nitroso compounds which are associated with cancer of the oral cavity, urinary bladder, esophagus, stomach, and brain. Eat nitrites-free hotdogs instead which are perfectly safe and healthy.
