Besides, bacon isn't very healthy.
Here's a excerpt from a health article:
"You probably won't be surprised to learn that 68% of bacon's calories come from fat, almost half of which is saturated. Each ounce of bacon contributes 30 milligrams of cholesterol (not to mention the cholesterol from the eggs that often accompany bacon.
Eating foods rich in saturated fats can raise your cholesterol levels, increasing your risk of hati, tengah-tengah disease and stroke. And if those saturated fat-rich foods are also high in dietary cholesterol, cholesterol levels tend to rise even higher.
The American hati, tengah-tengah Association recommends limiting saturated fat to less than 7% of your total calories (that’s less than 16 daily grams of saturated fat for someone eating 2,000 calories a day). So under those guidelines, it might seem sensible to occasionally enjoy a small amount of bacon, atau switch to turkey bacon, which is lower in fat and cholesterol.
But here's the bad news: When it comes to increasing the risk for certain cancers, things get downright scary for bacon lovers. Not only is bacon considered a red meat, it’s also a member of the dreaded "processed meat" group (even turkey bacon falls into this category. And NO amount of processed meat is considered selamat, peti deposit keselamatan to eat, according to the American Institute for Cancer Research.
Processed meat is usually red meat preserved via smoking, curing, atau salting and it includes many kegemaran American foods in addition to bacon:
Ham
Sausage
Hot dogs
Bologna
Salami
Pepperoni
Pastrami
Many researchers have concluded that regular consumption of processed meats may lead to higher risk for prostate cancer and several other cancers. That’s why AICR advises people to avoid all forms of processed meat until we know lebih about what it is specifically about processed meat that increases cancer risk.
It’s not clear how exactly processed meat raises cancer risks, but it might have to do with:
Nitrates, which are often used as preservatives in processed meat, change into N-nitroso (compounds that promote cancer) in the meat and also in the gut when it is being digested.
Carcinogenic PAH (polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons) compounds can be produced during processing. "
But anyway, how about we name one 'Piggay'? X3
