Is There Healthy Baconの特集記事をご紹介します。役立つ情報が満載です。

Here’s the part nobody wants to talk about. Bacon is brined. That means it’s basically a salt delivery system in crispy form.

A single slice of bacon can have 200 to 300 milligrams of sodium. Eat three slices? You’ve just consumed a quarter of your daily recommended salt intake—before lunch.

Even “low-sodium” bacon is still salty. It’s just less salty than a salt lick. That’s like saying a small wave is less wet than a big wave. Okay, sure, but you’re still getting wet.

So… Is There Any Healthy Bacon?

Let me give you the straight answer, friend. No, there is no bacon that is “healthy” in the way a blueberry is healthy. But there is healthier bacon.

Look for bacon from pasture-raised pigs with no added nitrates (from synthetic sources, because celery powder is still nitrate-y). Check the sugar content—some brands add brown sugar or maple syrup.

And for the love of crispy edges, read the ingredients list. If it has more than three things (pork, salt, maybe a little sugar or smoke), put it back.
