Here’s why you may want to think twice about eating bacon (if you want to be healthy and your goals go beyond merely weight loss).
🐷🥓Pigs are scavengers, which means that they will eat almost anything-rotten food, faeces, urine, carcasses, and even cancerous growths.
🐷 🥓Their digestive systems are incapable of effectively removing toxins from their bodies. These toxins are then stored directly in the pig’s fat cells and organs.
🐷🥓Pigs also do not have sweat glands. Perspiration is a key method the body uses to for detoxification and the pig is not designed to perspire. When we consume pig meat we get all of these pathogenic microorganisms and environmental toxins into our own system.
🐷🥓Pork is NOT the other white meat. This is based upon the amount of myoglobin in the animals muscles. And the amount in pigs is not quite as high as beef products but isn’t nearly as low as the amount found in chicken and fish. Technically speaking, pork is more of a red meat.
🐷🥓Meat from a pig is touted as being the “cruelest meat you can eat”. (According to Rodale in the harsh and cruel ways pigs are treated).
🐷 🥓 Fitness gurus suggesting bacon is “good for us” typically only make mention of good fats, and it providing vitamins like B, Zinc, and selenium. Yet they fail to mention any of the above facts about the source being dirty and a health danger. (It’s no different thinking French fries are healthy because they’re made from a potato).😏
If you think including bacon in your life is worth the risk, and if fueling your body with the cleanest, most stellar nutrients to prevent disease isn’t a goal, then keep eating dirty. 😬
