Where do you find this stuff? That's all Atkins mentions and yet I have
talked to a butcher and he has never heard of such a thing. All bacon
is Nitrated in order to cure it. Does anybody have a thought on this?
And if so, where can I find it in Ontario, Canada? Thanks in advance.


There was a thread about this topic just a short while ago.

I just buy the cheapest bacon I can find, and soak it in water for
about an hour or so, then I cook it.

The nitrates (or most of them) soak out of the bacon, problem solved.
