As tasty as pork is in its many forms, it is not a healthy meat for human consumption
There are many adverse effects, in particular in processed pork in the form of bacon, ham, salami and pate.
Here are a few to consider:
- High in acid and not a good meat all round
- Chemicals in the meat react badly in the body
- Dietary fats create environment for unwelcome parasites in the gut
- Dietary fats are bad for the human liver and the colon
- Sodium nitrate in bacon is a listed cause of cancer
- Pork fat causes hypertension
- Causes endometriosis in women and increases risk of ovarian cancer by 2.9 times
- Bacon increases risk of bladder cancer by 51%
So although it tastes good, limit your consumption!
