I have actually had a car broken into and valuables stolen while it was parked at a San Antonio park.

Yes, bacon really is killing us
Decades’ worth of research proves that chemicals used to make bacon do cause cancer. So how did the meat industry convince us it was safe?

same way the tobacco industry convinced everyone that cigs were not only safe, but 'good for you'. (1940's-50's advertising)

They didn't convince us. We just don't care.

This.

Plus, the amounts of the chemicals actually consumed is inconsequential.

Unless you’re me.
I’ve consumed so much bacon, there has been a measurable decrease in risk to the rest of the population.

You’re welcome.

I'm OK with that. Sure, life might end up being longer, but it won't be as worth living.

After reading the article, the problem isn't bacon, it's shitty bacon. Buy bacon cured with salt and aged, like it's supposed to be, and you won't get colon cancer.

Yeah, I've seen what living from 80-95 looks like. Hand me another pile of bacon.

And how you cook it.

Keep the cooking temp at or below 350 and the nitrates don’t get converted to the harmful nitrosamines.

what about the 'pre-cooked' bacon that you only warm up in the microwave?
or the 'uncured' bacon?

(not sarcasm....i actually don't know if they're better or not)

Couldn’t say about the precooked stuff.
If the ingredients list any nitrates, I’d avoid it because I don’t know how it was cooked.
That said, I wouldn’t eat it all that often. So, to have it just once in a while, I wouldn’t worry about it.

Uncured is fine in this context. It lacks the chemicals of concern.
But it’s technically not bacon. It’s pork belly.
So, depending on how you cook it, it’s no more risk than that of a pork chop.
