Researchers from the International Agency for Research on Cancer say that bacon acts as a bit of a double whammy in that it is both a red meat and a processed meat.
In a question-and-answer session, a committee of scientists from The World Health Organization explained how exactly red and processed meats are carcinogens.
According to the most recent estimates by the Global Burden of Disease Project, an independent academic research organization, about 34,000 cancer deaths per year worldwide are attributable to diets high in processed meat, scientists said, adding that diets high in red meat could be responsible for 50,000 cancer deaths per year worldwide.

WTF? I thought port was that "other white meat".
Doesn't matter, I make my own bacon, in my own smokehouse and it is good and I will continue to make it until the good Lord calls me home.
ahhhhh....port-pork...close enough
If you can find slab bacon it will last a whole lot longer. I put mine up on the slab and cut as I need. Of course 30 lbs does not go along ways around my family.
Eet Moar Chiken.
You can do them on the grill or in the oven, just cook until the bacon is the way you like it. If you don’t have a stand up Jalapeno cooker just cut them in half, stuff and wrap. Cook with the cut side up. Lay some tin foil in a pan and up the side, it will get greasy!
The only article on the website was written in 2015. 22 experts reviewed the literature and thought that “probably” red meat causes cancer. No mention of bacon.
I’ll find a pan .. thanks for the tips!
Actually, our bacon comes from slabs in the meat markets where we buy it.
My wife and I love bacon, but 30 pounds might last about a year.
HaHaHa! The ole “could be” used in the amount of deaths.
If cow are causing climate change,(Ca gov jerry browneye says so) then so are pigs! lol
You need 3 more 0’s in your population counts! lol
Research done by Dr Aziz el Islam his finest work. Get lost!
“Everyone who eats bacon will die!”
I’ll chance it.
Humans caused Continental Drift! Stop Man Made Continental Drift Now! ;-)
“Everyone who eats bacon will die!
Don’t tell anyone but rumor has that anyone that eats carrots will die.”
There’s always one person who wants to rain on someone else’s irrational hyperbole... Sheeesh!
Well played.
Since a lot of folks have been sharing their bacon recopies let me share mine.
Buy double smoked bacon from your local butcher.
Eat double smoked bacon. No cooking necessary. Yummmmm !
Speaking of red meat...
Buy chuck or sirloin from local butcher, have him grind it.
Eat ground chuck or sirloin. No cooking necessary. Yummmm !
