The bottom line - eat bacon. It's good for you" QUOTE srs

The World Health Organization (WHO) has determined that processed meat is a major contributor to colorectal cancer, classifying it as “carcinogenic to humans”. 30 grams of processed meat, which is just one hot dog or a few strips of bacon, consumed daily increases cancer relative risk by 18%.
Bacon that has not been treated with preservatives is OK, but to obtain that you have to know someone who has their own pigs and who gets it butchered without preservatives other than salt.
The only place in Europe where preservatives that cause cancer has been banned is italy, because they have a Parma ham industry to protect.
