I think I understand what you are saying. You keep calling out bacon, however, like it is a bad thing. Butter, as I said, is a noted exception. But bacon is essentially made up this way: 50% monounsaturated fat with the vast majority of this being oleic acid - the same fatty acid that olive oil contains and that is widely heralded as good for the heart. 40% saturated fat which is typically considered NOT good, but 30% of that is stearic acid which actually raises HDL and has no effect on LDL. The vast preponderance of the remainder of the saturated fats is palmitic acid which studies show raises LDL - so that's not a good thing. So and estimated 62% of bacon has a positive impact on your cholesterol health, and 28% is definitively negative to your cholesterol. It's not anywhere close to a problem like most people tend to think it is. Butter is a whole different issue.
