BENEFITS OF PORK

Lean pork is sometimes also known as the "other white meat".  But did you know that lean pork is not only "another white meat," it is a good source of high-quality protein.  You may be surprised to know that lean pork is also a good source of the B vitamins.  

You will notice that all of the above statements are based on lean pork.  You need to remember that cured pork such as bacon, some hams, etc contain nitrates which can form cancer-promoting nitrosamines. Cured products are also usually quite high in salt and often high in fat.
