    It’s extremely high in saturated fat and salt, and so should be eaten sparingly. That’s not to say it can’t be a part of a balanced diet, but even a small portion provides a huge chunk of your daily requirements for each of those two, as well as for calories.

    Edit: Removed reference to dietary cholesterol, as this has little to no impact on health

        I legitimately had never heard this in my life, and my dad is a doctor. Thank you for informing me and sending me down that particular discovery rabbit hole

      I’m with you, don’t abuse anything too much, but then again it doesn’t mean that bacon is bad!

      We need salt, fat and cholesterol actually, just in sane amounts.

      Cholesterols are a whole debate too.
