The labels "cured" and "uncured" on bacon and other processed meats can be misleading. Both cured and uncured bacon are preserved, and the use of these labels is a result of labeling regulations. "Uncured" bacon may still contain similar amounts of nitrites and nitrates as "cured" bacon. Nitrites and nitrates, whether synthetic or from natural sources, can form nitrosamines in the body, which may increase the risk of certain cancers. Processed meat intake has also been linked to an increased risk of Type 2 diabetes and heart disease. While vegetables like celery contain nitrates and nitrites, their conversion to nitrosamines is less likely due to the low protein content. It is recommended to consume processed meats in moderation.

He whips the eggs with unsalted butter in a non-stick pan and stirs it slowly to create a curdy texture. He listens to ’60s folky music and cooks everything on low heat to ensure safety. His wife makes homemade waffles, lemon-ricotta pancakes, or fresh biscuits if the kids want it.

Experts have compared the nutritional value of various food and drink options, including Diet Coke vs Coke Zero, plant-based milk vs cow's milk, butter vs margarine, pork bacon vs turkey bacon, and coffee vs tea. While there are few nutritional differences between Diet Coke and Coke Zero, Coke Zero has slightly less caffeine. Cow's milk is considered the healthiest option due to its essential protein content, while most plant-based milk lacks protein. Butter is higher in trans fats than margarine, which can raise bad cholesterol and increase the risk of diseases such as heart attack and stroke. Turkey bacon has more salt than pork bacon, and both contain unhealthy saturated fats. Coffee has more fiber and caffeine than tea, and may reduce inflammation and prevent cell damage. Frozen fruits and vegetables can have a slight nutritional edge over fresh produce due to being picked at peak ripeness and immediately frozen.
