SAMA HOOLE: guess which one has the cancer warning label? The bacon. With 50x LESS nitrates.

Nitrate comparison time:

Bacon (per serving): 5mg nitrates
Spinach (per serving): 250mg nitrates
Arugula (per serving): 250mg nitrates
Celery (per serving): 150mg nitrates
Beetroot (per serving): 110mg nitrates

Guess which one has the cancer warning label.

Not the vegetables…

Not the vegetables that health influencers blend into smoothies. The bacon. With 50x LESS nitrates. Your body produces 60-80mg nitrates daily. In your mouth and gut. Naturally. But 5mg in bacon is apparently carcinogenic while 250mg in spinach is a superfood. Same molecule. Different marketing budget. Processed meat gets the WHO warning. Vegetables get the health halo. Not because of science. Because bacon threatens grain industry market share and vegetables don't. Follow the money. Always.
