This article is really interesting.

"Even so, “everyone knows” bacon’s bad for us, and Dr. Barnard would have us think it’s a veritable risk factor for heart disease.   In fact, bacon might be good for the heart.   And not just because it makes us happy, though that’s surely a plus!    Monounsaturated fat — the primary fat in bacon — is widely lauded for reducing inflammation and lowering blood pressure, while the antimicrobial palmitoleic content in bacon fat can keep plaque at bay.   Triglycerides too may improve because bacon fat is especially good at helping us achieve satiety and stable blood sugar.   Bacon can thus be useful for diabetics and prediabetics as well as everyone else coping with sugar cravings and carbohydrate addictions.Promoting bacon as a red hot ticket to weight loss might seem over the top, but eggs and bacon do add up to a high-fat, high-protein and low-carb breakfast.   They not only help people start their day feeling happy, but can reduce hunger pains and rev the metabolism.  For many people, bacon’s signature salty and savory sweetness is a treat that reduces feelings of deprivation and lack.   It can help people transition away from high carb diets and overcome carb addictions.   And by stabilizing blood sugar, bacon helps prevent mood swings, reduce anxiety, improve focus and enhance coping skills." 4951

So many past "studies" have been proven wrong, I take them all with a grain of salt.  Speaking of salt, recent studies show that salt is not as bad as it was thought to be.  Same with eggs.  The key is always moderation....... except for bacon!  LOVE BACON! 4951

I love bacon. I have not had it in a while. My dh cooks it outside so as not to make a mess inside. We have an outdoor kitchen. 4951
