Hold the bacon! If you are a fan of beef jerky, salami, hot dogs and other cured meats, you may be putting yourself at risk for manic episodes, according to a new study.

Researchers at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine have discovered an apparent link between consumption of nitrate-cured meats and hospitalization for mania, an elevated mood characterized by hyperactivity, euphoria and insomnia.

Manic episodes, which are associated with bipolar disorder and schizoaffective disorder, may last for weeks or months and can lead to delusional thinking and risk-taking behavior. Researchers seeking to find what factors, other than genetics, cause these abnormal mood states were surprised to find a peculiar dietary link.

I’ve been consuming uncured bacon, hotdogs and sausages for years. There is a large and growing selection of uncured meats currently available. Dump the nitrates and you will be better off in the long run.

Reminds me of one of my old bosses on a business trip and him returning to the breakfast table with a plate loaded down with bacon. Like an entire pigs worth. LOL!

Reliable Refrigeration wasn’t invented until about 100 years ago.

ALL cultures CURED meat-—mostly using salt.

This is all scare tactics. Please hand me more bacon.

I have found an item that really helps my bacon cravings.

Costco carries a package of ‘Bacon Bits’. I keep them in the freezer & use them when I make scrambled eggs. Toss a small handful of bits onto the eggs in the cast iron pan, and I get a bacon fix—altho a small one.

The COEXIST vegans are trying to get us to stop eating meats again with fake studies.

Time to stock up on steaks on hot dogs.

who eats nitrates anymore when there are so many choices for naturally cured meats, including bacon!!!

Seriously, there’s no reason to eat anything with nitrates...its only used so the manufacturers could keep large inventories in storage.
