Is BACON bad for you? Does Bacon cause cancer?? Does bacon cause heart disease???
So many nutrition experts have said so many bad things about Bacon that some of them must be true, right?? Let's take a look at bacon nutrition and possible health risks and finally tell the truth about bacon.
Only bad thing is you can’t get it in juice form.
Bacon & Eggs was a favorite staple break - fast anytime of day when actively losing weight. Must have worked - 65 pounds off, and kept off.
Tasty and filling. Lots of protein, fat, vitamins, minerals, necessary.
Right out of the chute Dr. Berry is mostly wrong about bacon being “cured in salt”. The vast majority is pork belly cured in salt AND sucrose. Sucrose is bad for you because it is half fructose. Instead eat pork belly, and you won’t have to worry about fructose.
One of my mother’s degrees was in nutrition. She had graduated in the 1930’s. One day she quoted chapter and verse on what the government had said about various foods, quoting dates when they’d said it. Bacon good, bacon bad, eggs good, eggs bad, butter good, butter deadly, etc. Her point was you could find published papers from “reputable” scientists claiming the exact opposite for everything we ate. She said, “If it’s food eat it. Just don’t overdo it on anything. It’s getting fat, not exercising and not washing your hands that’s bad for you. Anything else, just use moderation and you’ll be about as well off as anything else.” Remember, there was a time when scientists thought radiation was good for you. Radium was added to everything from toothpaste to soap.
Enjoy bacon...you cook most of the fat off...and it’s about 15 calories per slice...so 6 slices of bacon...and use only one slice of bread....for dunking into the yolks...no butter needed.
I read an article a while back about a lady in Indiana I think it was, who was the oldest living person in that state and they asked her what she thought the secret to her longevity was and she said something to the effect: “Well, I eat bacon every day and at night I have two good shots of some good vodka”. I thought, you go lady, maybe I’ll try that diet.
There is plenty of bacon labeled as zero carb. I can’t imagine very much of the sugar from curing has been retained if it is zero carb. What is your take on that?
What’s so bad.
Well he’s only six degrees away from you.
“Remember, there was a time when scientists thought radiation was good for you. Radium was added to everything from toothpaste to soap.”
One thing that has not changed. The same so-called experts are still saying “”trust the science”” (ie...them).
I don’t know about bacon but I do know that voting for demonRATS and their “democrazy” agenda can give you “Montezuma’s Revenge”.
It’s supposed to be the nitrites in bacon turning into nitrosamines in your body that is the biggest risk. I don’t care I’m eating it anyway. Forgot to buy some this morning when I went shopping and that sucks because I was planning on making some BLT’s and crumbling some in my Welsh rarebit. Got all the other ingredients for them but forgot the most important one.
If you see “study” results that worry you....well, don’t worry ‘cause there will be another study to contradict it.
I’m going on a bacon diet, for science
THERE NOTHING WRONG WITH BACON, DR KEN. SHUT UP AND GO AWAY.
