Spicy Catfish and Creamed Spinach
Afternoon Snack: Sliced Avocado, Manchego Cheese and SalamiWe had a pretty swell day. Caught up on what we missed while we were gone - a few chores, sorting through mail, making phone calls, etc.

Dear Sleepy Harry,
Just what is "natural'' bacon ?
thanks, Your low carb princess

Good day, Bayoubabe.
I just mean "nitrate-free" bacon. I'm kind of leery of nitrates and nitrites. I think it's probably best to avoid them.
Some markets and health food stores sell such products.
Hi Harry,
Nitrate-free bacon isn't available here as far as I've searched (and believe me, I've tried!) but I've been reading articles recently that say it's a myth they cause any problems at all.
I know believing them is probably just wishful thinking on my part, but what exactly do you think they damage?
Oh, and thanks so much for your support! It really means a lot :)

Howdy, Erika.
My understanding is that the concern is primarily directed at the possible increased risk of certain cancers.
The cancer-link is suggested (by some research) but not proven. I guess I'm just trying to limit the potential risk. If I remember correctly, even Dr. Atkins mentioned took a similar position (based on an old Larry King interview that I saw).
I'm sure I'm still exposed to many harmful substances in my diet - even though I try to avoid them. But, I hope that some of the healthier foods and supplements I take may counteract the negative elements. Perhaps that's my entry into the "wishful thinking" category. :)
yum yum and more yum. you eat so well, and so deliciously!
Thanks, October!
It's a pretty satisfying diet. :) What more could I ask for?
