Not to rain on anyone’s bacon parade, but I did a little research the other day, and bacon is linked to NO FEWER THAN 13 types of cancer. We’ve got:

  1. bladder
  2. stomach
  3. prostate
  4. colon
  5. lung
  6. oral
  7. pharyngeal
  8. laryngeal
  9. esophageal
  10. small intestinal
  11. pancreatic
  12. large intestinal
  13. brain

Yes, bacon can give you brain cancer. Not that one serving of bacon explosion is going to kill you, but if, say, you’re contemplating eating nothing but bacon for a month, well, you might want to reconsider…

    I think bacon causes wierd behavior too. At least I act strange even when I smell it. The aroma is so burned in to my olfactory memory that past images of bacon meals cloud my thoughts. The picture of the BLTs my mother used to make us for lunch on white Webbers bread actually seem like food. Bacon is so much healthier left on the pig.

    What about Trader Joe’s bacon, which has no preservatives? Any studies?
