DESCRIPTION: The addition of vitamin C to processed (cured) meats such as bacon may actually make them more carcinogenic. Have a question about this video? Leave it in the comment section at http://nutritionfacts.org/videos/vitamin-c-enriched-bacon/ and I'll try to answer it! If you haven't seen it, or need to brush up, the carcinogen-blocking effect of phytonutrients to which I refer was covered three days ago in Prevention Is Better Than Cured Meat (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/prevention-is-better-than-cured-meat/). And for more on crazy things food industries say, check out Heart Attacks and Cholesterol Agribusiness Sees It Differently (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/heart-attacks-and-cholesterol-agribusiness-sees-it-differently/), Egg Industry Blind Spot (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/egg-industry-blind-spot/), Dietary Guidelines: Corporate Guidance (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/dietary-guidelines-corporate-guidance/), Dietary Guidelines: Pushback From the Sugar, Salt and Meat Industries (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/dietary-guidelines-pushback-from-the-sugar-salt-and-meat-industries/) and Is Pomegranate Juice That Wonderful? (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/is-pomegranate-juice-that-wonderful/). This video is the second to last video in my 3-week series that started with Doping With Beet Juice (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/doping-with-beet-juice/) and will end tomorrow with a video entitled "So should we drink beet juice or not?" Thanks for sticking it out with me! Now you just have another 1500 or so other topics to enjoy (http://nutritionfacts.org/topics/).
