Pork is for another reason... the biochemicals in pork are the closest match to human tissue which is why they're used for heart valves, insulin, etc. As such I think that they might be more likely to cause immune problems such as autoimmunity etc. Bacon, is packed with nitrites as a preservative which have been shown to cause cancer. It is hard to find but there is bacon that is nitrite free, but a better alternative is nitrite free turkey bacon.
