So many scientific studies have lambasted (Hmm, lamb basted in gravy, I wonder?) so many foods and drinks over decades that when the inevitable retraction and volte face turns up - we are made fools for having listened and deprived ourselves of good provender over a lengthy period.
A good rule of thumb, it appears to me, is to eat and drink natural foods and to avoid the ones with all the E numbers, additives, MSG etc.
I can fully understand why pre-packaged bacons, riddled with additives, might be causing us damage to our bodies - but with the real stuff? - Frankly, I doubt it!
Too many of us are not buying real food!
PS. The bacon I buy is NOT cheap!
PPS. We are warned constantly to cut salt intake to 6 grams daily. I have checked salt content on many items only to find how frequently the amounts are trivial.
I was pleasantly surprised recently to see that even the demonised salted peanuts I was eating contained well under 0.2 grams per portion!
We also use Lo Salt. Is that a mistake too? Probably the longest living people on earth are found in the High Andes where sodium salt intakes are phenomenally high!
