Defining “Natural Bacon” Labels
fabric:
Hmmm, didn't know that about celery salts either, thanks for the info.
We normally buy bacon from either Wellshire Farms or Beretta Organics. The Wellshire has: Pork, sea salt, raw sugar, white pepper and Beretta I think is similar. I'll need to check on the Beretta once I get home. I'd like to try the USwellness one but they don't deliver to Canada.

Here is another good read on bacon and nitrites from a blog on Weston Price page

Will have to consider this, nitrates, Vit D etc. A little confused too.
--- Quote ---Bacon’s smell and taste are so seductive that many vegetarians fear it as “the gateway meat".

Just realized Bear that this was mentioned by LQB in this forum thread back in Dec 2012, and so it seemed familiar somehow and now i know why.
Anyway, it is interesting and a few things make sense:
--- Quote ---The ‘bates should not be in our food supply if we want to remain healthy.

But not sure how to take this:
--- Quote ---Levels of nitrite naturally increase in the body to help boost oxygen when people live at high altitudes, and such people are often considered among the healthiest in the world. 63 In short, nitrites are not a problem, provided our diets are rich enough in antioxidants to facilitate the conversion of nitrites to NO and to prevent nitrosation reactions that convert nitrites into carcinogenic nitrosamines.

Understand via reference to altitudes sickness and nitrogen/oxygen molecules dropping, so nitrite levels increase oxygen at elevation.
Has anybody read the book referenced:
--- Quote ---The Nitric Oxide (NO) Solution by Nathan S.Bryan, PhD and Janet Zand
--- End quote ---
--- Quote from: review ---Product Description Eighty-one million Americans have cardiovascular disease, the arterial damage that leads to the heart attacks and strokes that account for 36 percent of all deaths in the U.S. But few people know that by boosting the body’s levels of a single molecule—nitric oxide (NO)—you can help prevent, control and even reverse cardiovascular disease.
In this groundbreaking book, nitric oxide expert Nathan Bryan, PhD, and natural healer Janet Zand, OMD, tell you all about nitric oxide, the “miracle molecule” that can dramatically improve your health. What the molecule is. How it keeps your arteries young and flexible, regulating blood pressure, and stopping the buildup of artery-clogging plaque. Why most people over 40-years-old have severely diminished levels of NO, and what to do about it. They also show how the molecule works to prevent and treat other chronic conditions, such as diabetes, arthritis, asthma, osteoporosis, and erectile dysfunction. And how it strengthens the immune system and energizes the brain.
The book includes dozens of easy-to-follow tips for increasing NO levels, using NO-boosting foods, supplements, easy exercise, and other natural methods like deep breathing {like EE Breathing}, naps, hot baths, acupuncture—even watching movies that make you laugh!
The Nitric Oxide (NO) Solution provides you with the best and simplest solution to the problems of cardiovascular disease, aging, and ill health.
About The Authors Nathan Bryan, PhD is a leading expert on nitric oxide, and assistant professor of molecular medicine at the Brown Foundation Institute of Molecular Medicine of the School of Medicine at the University of Texas Health Science Center in Houston. Janet Zand, OMD, is a doctor of oriental medicine, author of several books on natural healing, and a pioneer in the development of nutritional and herbal supplements.
