Can Bacon Really Extend Your Life? We hope so.

Here's the news you've been waiting for, according to a new study... bacon may actually extend your life!

Before you go stuffing pounds of bacon down your gullet, let me explain.  Bacon is full of niacin, otherwise known as Vitamin B3. Researchers from ETH Zurich fed niacin to a group of roundworms and they lived 10% longer than the roundworms who didn't have niacin in their diet.

Niacin is not exclusive to bacon, it's also in paprika, peanuts and sun dried tomatoes. But I'll take my chances with the bacon.

Do you know who really loves bacon? Comedian Jim Gaffigan.  Check out his classic bit on bacon.  Haha, bacon bits... see what I did there?1?!!
