I use approximately ¼ of the sodium nitrite allowed in commercial bacons. According to the head nutritionist I had in my month-long hospital stay for my brain stem stroke, bacon is actually good for you, it is high in Vitamin D, and ½ glass of acidic orange or apple juice eliminates the effect of sodium nitrite on your system! I had regular strip bacon every morning for breakfast and on my BLT's for lunch! I must get more back bacon in the brine now! I told her I made my own bacon and she lauded me for it and said I could quote her!
