+++Hi Tina,

To remove nitrates, sulphites, etc. from bacon, thaw it out, if needed. Remove

it from the package and separate the slices, laying them in a glass pan that

allows them to lay flat, but they do not have to be separated. I use a glass

rectangular cake pan.

Mix 1 teaspoon of ocean sea salt in 2-3 cups of non-chlorinated water (enough to

cover the bacon) and stir it so the sea salt is totally dissolved. Pour it over

the bacon and let it sit on your counter to soak overnight.

The next morning, pour off the salt water, and add a new batch of sea salt and

water (as above). This time you can put it in the fridge to soak 12 hours or

overnight.

Pour off the water, dry the bacon with non-bleached paper towels or an old

kitchen towel, and cook.

Hi Bee,

Thanks, I did buy it but haven't eaten it yet, I will go ahead and soak it as

you describe in your recipe and will let you know how it goes. I had the Cafe

Altura decaf this morning and it was really nice, no adverse reaction.

Thanks again,

Caroline

This is WONDERFUL news!!! I am a bacon addict. Wednesday is coupon day, so I

will buy a small pkg. & try this. It hurt so much to eat bacon last time and I

miss it more than my recently escaped husband, hah...

Awesome!

That's good you were okay having the Altura decaf.

Hi Debbie, just curious about your experience, when you say " it hurt so much to

eat bacon the last time " I'm wondering what symptoms you get that causes you

grief?

Thanks for sharing,

Tina

HI,

The same thing happened when I ate Kielbasa sausage, pan sausage & bacon. I

wrote to Bee about it already. She says it's the nitrates & my body's reaction

to them.

It is so difficult to put into words, but five to 15 minutes after eating it, I

start to get an electrical, grinding or stinging sensation throughout my body.

This goes on for 7 to 10 hours. It is practically overwhelming & my life comes

to a screeching halt until it is passed out of my body.

Bee said to load up on vitamin C if it should happen again. I forgot to get

bacon yesterday. So I haven't tried this method of ridding the nitrates from

bacon. But it will happen SOON & I'll post my experience. Hoping for the best.

++Hi DeBBie,

Nitrates are mainly toxic to your nervous system, called neurotoxins, so that's

why you got nervous system symptoms, i.e. electrical charges, grinding, stinging

sensations, etc.

Most neurotoxic food additives contain free glutamic acids processed from

proteins. Monosodium glutamate (MSG) is probably the best known of the

neurotoxins. However, there are many other names for these protein derived

additives, including yeast extract, maltodextrin, carrageenan, hydrolyzed

vegetable protein, dough conditioners, seasonings, spices, and whey protein

concentrate. Even the pleasant sounding term natural flavors can mean the

presence of additives toxic to the brain and nervous system, that manufacturers

are able to hide under terms like natural flavorings or natural seasoning, etc.

They are an assault on your nervous system and a violent attack on the cells of

your brain.

All the best, Bee

HOWDY Y'ALL,

Life is GOOD! Bought the bacon. Soaked it according to Bee's instructions. Fried

it up & I am in BACON HEAVEN!!!

I took a tiny bite & waited an hour. No ill effects whatsoever. So, I had a

salad with crumbled bacon, shredded lettuce & skinned tomatoes with homemade

mayonnaise. It was like a BLT w/o the bread. SO WONDERFUL!!!

This morning I enjoyed scrambled eggs with MORE BACON mixed in. So tasty. The

soaking did not get rid of the smokey flavor. The FAT fries up a bit

differently, but all in all... BACON HEAVEN!!!

Tonight's menu included FAKE German Potato Salad. It is the Basic German Potato

Salad recipe available everywhere online, but I substituted steamed & chopped

CAULIFLOWER for the potatoes. I used Bragg's RACV & a drop or 2 of Stevia. It

was very good with a fried Pork Chop.

I must say how wonderful it is to NOT drain the fats on a napkin. I'll bet if

MOST FOLKS watched me cook, they'd cringe at all the FAT. HA HA HA HA... but I

am getting healthy & loving this program!

Does this soaking process also draw out any sugar in the bacon also (dextrose)??

+++Hi ly,

Yes it should pull out most sugar in the bacon since bacon doesn't naturally

contain dextrose so it is added later.

I have been buying pork belly from the meat counter at Central Market, asking

them to slice it like bacon. It cooks up nicely, not exactly like bacon, but at

least you don't have to worry about residual sugar or nitrates.
