Nitrates - too much of - are no good for you - cancer causing - but to get to that you have to eat lots and lots of high concentration.
As for bacon, I eat bacon almost daily - 2 strips at most - I have not found it to be a problem BUT the salt can be - - makes me retain water so I try not to eat more than that limit.
It is hard to find Nitrate-free bacon - - I live in a larger town and I have been to almost every store that carries bacon - no one has it. So if you eat the nitrate bacon, just limit yourself.
ALSO for some, nitrates can cause a stall.
