Could it be true? Could bacon really be...healthy for your heart?
According to an article I just came across, American researchers have cloned pigs that can produce their own omega-3 fatty acids, which would make bacon and pork good for your heart. Omega-3 fatty acids are those compounds found in fish like tuna that reduce the incidence of heart disease.
For now, the research is still in a theoretical stage, as scientists are not sure whether meat from the cloned piglets whose flesh is laden with the omega-3 fatty acids have the same effect as the omega-3 fatty acids from fish. They are also not sure how consumers would react to genetic modification.

Look around, fat people everywhere buying so much food , developing diseases and killing themselves with puss tainted milk and broken down tortured diseased meat. The only way to being healthy is to be Vegan and think about all the good from it could come! Government runs the milk industry and so why would they let studies on soy milk let the public know that the vit d is added as it is in cow milk.... Soy is good for you. Meat is murder and cloning pigs and doing studies on animals is wrong....would you eat your dog? or your cat? why do you think that a pigs soul is not equal to your dog? people wise up and look at the big picture.
