Bacon may have the ability to prolong your life, according to a recent study by researchers from ETH Zurich. Well, kind of.
There will be more people than ever grilling bacon this weekend – because bacon owns the internet.
The pork product is apparently full of niacin – also known as Vitamin B3 – which has been linked to a longer life span. Researchers tested the theory by feeding a selection of roundworms a good dose of niacin and their life lasted one-tenth longer.
You can also find the vitamin in paprika, sun-dried tomatoes, peanuts, and marmite (which is apparently yeast extract). But who cares? You can find niacin in bacon, which is all that really matters. So eat up! It’s good for you.
