Is Bacon REALLY That Bad?
 
Quote:

At my house we jokingly say, "Everything tastes better with bacon." While the taste factor of bacon might be high, its health factor is quite low.

The fat in the bacon is what gives it that flavor you love, and makes it fry up crispy. One bacon strip contains about 40 calories, 3.5g of fat, 1.7g of saturated fat, 7.5mg of cholesterol, 120mg of sodium, and 2.5g of protein. The meat is cured and smoked before you buy it.

Nutritionally speaking, it is high in sodium and has a moderate amount of saturated fat, but the thing you have to watch out for when it comes to bacon is the nitrates (also called nitrites like sodium nitrite). It's a preservative used in processed food to help maintain its color.

Nitrates can be found in bacon, hot dogs, sausages, and cold cuts. The reason they are so bad for us is that when we cook them at high temps, they form Nitrosamines, which are carcinogenic. In the news, nitrite-based preservatives were found to be linked to pancreatic cancer.

Why else are nitrates unhealthy? To find out read more

The high content of nitrites may also contribute to COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease) which includes emphysema and chronic bronchitis. In COPD, changes occur in your lungs that make it harder to breathe over time.

Fit's Tips: So I'm sorry to burst your bacon-loving bubble, but the brands preserved with sodium nitrite really are unhealthy for you. If you don't want to give up this favorite breakfast food, look for nitrite-free bacon and other processed meats at your local health food or grocery store. Also avoid ordering it when you go out, since there's no way to know if it's free of nitrites or not.

They sell nitrate free bacon now...It's over $6 a pack but I like it.

dyna mo 02-21-2011 06:28 PM

nitrates are also found in vegetables and water, that's why i'm off both, in addition to bacon.

of course, man. These pigs are locked in cages and go crazy trying to eat themselves just to die. Then they shove a bunch of chemicals in it to kill the possible cancers.

That's before the packaging company even looks at it.

http://www.alop.org/2011/01/undercov...thfield-foods/

That's just the beginning, our country is fucked up when it comes to packaged food. Get your shit locally.

I'm going to try the Nitrate free bacon.


Bacon is delish.

i enjoy dead pig, dead cow and other types of farm critters. I wish our owners would add more of a selection to our menu though, oh well. Can't have it all, but bacon is definitely a plus, especially when it's wrapped over some other type of shit and deep fried

Vincent: Want some bacon?
Jules: No man, I don't eat pork.
Vincent: Are you Jewish?
Jules: Nah, I ain't Jewish, I just don't dig on swine, that's all.
Vincent: Why not?
Jules: Pigs are filthy animals. I don't eat filthy animals.
Vincent: Bacon tastes gooood. Pork chops taste gooood.
Jules: Hey, sewer rat may taste like pumpkin pie, but I'd never know 'cause I wouldn't eat the filthy motherfucker. Pigs sleep and root in shit. That's a filthy animal. I ain't eat nothin' that ain't got sense enough to disregard its own feces.
Vincent: How about a dog? Dogs eats its own feces.
Jules: I don't eat dog either.
Vincent: Yeah, but do you consider a dog to be a filthy animal?
Jules: I wouldn't go so far as to call a dog filthy but they're definitely dirty. But, a dog's got personality. Personality goes a long way.
Vincent: Ah, so by that rationale, if a pig had a better personality, he would cease to be a filthy animal. Is that true?
Jules: Well we'd have to be talkin' about one charming motherfuckin' pig. I mean he'd have to be ten times more charmin' than that Arnold on Green Acres, you know what I'm sayin'?

hmmm....I have eaten bacon for over 30 years every morning, have stay active everyday and can still out wrestle and submit a D-1 wrestler.

I hope my body has adapted to the pressures of eating bacon everyday.

loreen 02-22-2011 03:37 AM

I eat some only when I can get it from a safe source (meaning pigs that live wild in very small farms) :)

ottopottomouse 02-22-2011 07:02 AM

Every day for breakfast.

SomeCreep 02-22-2011 07:24 AM

Bacon is never bad. Ever.

Agent 488 02-22-2011 09:00 AM

had some deer sausage, an egg, a slice of whole wheat toast and some rooter sauce for the eggs and sausage.

PR_Glen 02-22-2011 09:06 AM

good article BF, I have heard things about nitrates but didn't know how they were bad for you before now.

I eat it sparingly but it is far too tasty to cut out completely. I'll have to try out the nitrate free stuff next time though..

Fuck bacon give me BBQ. Pulled pork, Carnitas. Give me the real deal. GIVE ME!!!!!

Tom_PM 02-22-2011 09:29 AM

I like turkey bacon. Yeah yeah, it's not real bacon. But thats ok, the shape is right and you can use it the same ways. It's just very lean. Had some on home made pizza last night. Killer topping.

Moderation. Eating a pound or two each morning probably isn't a good idea

The Porn Nerd 02-22-2011 10:51 AM

I'm currently down in South Beach, "working" (instead of "working" in the frozen/icy tundra that is NYC this Winter) and I've eaten bacon every damn day for like a week. Fat meet guilty, guilty meet fat. And what am I about to have for breakfast on this fine day (80 degrees)?

Bacon.

Yes, you can assume that I have officially given up.

borked 02-22-2011 11:11 AM

You guys eat streaky fatty shit...

be very careful and don't keep it after the use by date. the reason they put nitrates in it is to guard against botulism that thrives on bacon.
