That's a good question, Jonniboy. I don't recall anyone saying nitrates caused them to stall - anyone?? I remember years ago when I was doing Atkins (and I do mean YEARS ago LOL!) the big concern in bacon was the sugar. It was told that Dr. Atkins said not to worry about the sugar, it would "cook out" of the bacon. There never seemed to be any discussion about nitrates back then. Now, however, we know nitrates are not the best thing to put in your body. But I don't know if you have bacon once in awhile if the nitrates could be a problem for most people.
