NUTRISH FACTOR: Bacon is a rich source of Choline, an important nervous system nutrient which may also decrease swelling and inflammation in asthma. Bacon provides B-Complex vitamins, zinc, magnesium & iron and there's a surprisingly high protein to fat ratio- 4:1. Buy uncured/no added nitrate-nitrite brands and don't over cook or char your bacon to reduce creating nitrates and nitrites. Avoid microwaving bacon, and other animal proteins, which may create cancer promoting mutated proteins.
