Bacon is ~40% fat. The sodium is probably carcinogenic in addition to any compounds developed in cooking.
A lot of nutrition science has changed recently, but eating a bunch of saturated fat is still generally believed cause cardiovascular disease.
I think there's evidence that keto and even carnivore can work for some people. Ted Naiman seems more sustainable/evidence-based to me if you want to eat animal protein.

The specifically interesting part of nutrition science changes is that we've discovered how individualized this is. Same with salt intake.
Some people can pack away 10g of sodium per day with no deleterious effects on their blood pressure. Others respond very poorly to it.
Some people can raw slonk a dozen egg yolks or 1/4lb of lard and see no appreciable rise in serum total cholesterol or LDL levels. Others cannot.
The main thing we've learned is that dietary advice based on broad population studies will tell you precisely nothing about how good or bad a given food is for your specific metabolism, epigenetic expression, and physiology. We should all go for differential blood panels in our teens or early twenties to determine this up front. A thousand dollars to save a hundred times that later down the road.
