          The thing is, fat isn’t all that bad for you. The idea that fat is unhealthy is mostly dead outside of sugar lobbyists. It’s sugar that you really have to look out for.

          Salt is also likely not as bad as reporting used to make it out to be. It causes short term blood pressure increases, but potentially not long term and also we don’t know the direction of causation with that and heart disease.

          Basically, don’t over-indulge, but bacon probably isn’t going to kill you.

              This made me laugh but, in case it’s not a joke, I meant high BP causing heart disease, heart disease causing high BP, or them both being caused by something else related.

            Animal fat that has been cooked to temperature is absolutely fucking horrible for you.

            You’re thinking of plant-based omega-fats which are essential for health.
