Finally, Real Canadian bacon - Peameal back bacon Available in USA

(PRWEB) March 6, 2002

What is Real Canadian bacon?

Real Canadian bacon is back bacon, known as "Peameal Bacon" in Canada and was unique to Canada until now. Real Canadian bacon is made from main muscle boneless pork loins, short cut from the leaner portion of the loin to give a more uniform product. External fat is trimmed to within 1/8". It is then sweet pickle cured and rolled in the traditional golden cornmeal coating, giving it the Real Canadian bacon peameal trademark. This is not ?Canadian-style? bacon and is vastly different from what is commonly found in the United States. The term ?peameal? comes from the ground yellow peas with which the bacon was originally coated. This ensured better curing and shelf life and avoided bacterial problems. Over the years this tradition was changed to cornmeal, due to the availability of corn.

Why is Canadian bacon so famous?

Around the turn of the last century or as they say "during the war years", England had a pork shortage. They imported "side bacon" from Canada, smoked it and termed it ?Wiltshire Sides? in England. Due to this event Canadian bacon was made famous. Over time the United States believed that Canadian bacon was smoked back bacon although true Canadian bacon is not smoked. Our Canadian product is classified by the USDA as uncooked Canadian bacon and is Canadian #1 peameal back bacon.

And peameal bacon is healthy for you!

The National Pork Producers Council says, ??the leanest pork choice?is as lean as skinless chicken breast, with four grams of fat per serving. A serving of lean pork has 34% less cholesterol than skinless chicken.? This product is low in sodium, about 1% sodium per serving.

Ken Haviland, President of RCB Company, says, ?I couldn?t believe after talking to many of my online customers, that they've sometimes planned trips to Canada just to get peameal bacon and take back to the US. They said there?s nothing like Real Canadian bacon and the product that we shipped them was exactly what they expected.?

Now for the first time, the REAL Canadian Bacon Company offers authentic product direct from Canada?try some today! Available in the popular sliced style or dinnertime roast, exclusively at http://www.realcanadianbacon.com.

About RCB Company

RCB Company, Troy, MI USA offers top quality Canadian bacon and other unique products from Canada.

Cutera Excel V Now Available At Westlake Dermatology and Cosmetic Surgery

Austin, Texas (PRWEB) November 29, 2011

Westlake Dermatology and Cosmetic Surgery, a leading provider of medical dermatology, cosmetic procedures and plastic surgery in Central Texas, announced today it is now offering Cutera Excel V to treat a wide range of vascular conditions. For the millions of Americans coping with the physical, emotional and social effects of vascular skin conditions, the search for a simple and cost-effective treatment has been frustrating until now.

The Excel V system uses a unique high-power green laser to precisely treat visible vessels, broken capillaries, spider veins, vascular lesions and skin discoloration. The laser light is absorbed by abnormal blood vessels in the skin, which heats and eliminates the vessels, ultimately restoring normal skin tone and color. The technology in the Excel V has been proven effective in treating a wide range of skin conditions, including rosacea, facial veins, port wine stains, telangiectasia and cherry angiomas. Excel V also incorporates the latest innovations in cooling technologies enabling the doctor to deliver higher doses directly to the affected lesion with less pain than traditional laser systems.

People seeking healthier looking skin are often faced with the untenable options of invasive medical procedures associated with undesirable side effects. Treatment of port wine stains, for example, has included radiation, freezing, and surgery, often resulting in pain and scarring. Similarly, spider leg veins are most commonly treated by sclerotherapy, an invasive procedure that requires patients to wear compression stockings after treatment and often includes an injection.

?Until now, treatments for some of these vascular conditions have been limited due to their invasiveness or unwanted side effects,? said Dr. Gregory Nikolaidis, president of Westlake Dermatology and Cosmetic Surgery. ?The design of the Excel V laser includes a unique cooling mechanism to prevent damage to surrounding skin, and the great thing is that there is no downtime for patients.?

Treatment with the Excel V laser system can be customized to each patient?s unique skin condition and can be adjusted to treat different depths and sizes, from superficial blemishes to deep vascular scars. For more information about Excel V visit: http://www.westlakedermatology.com.
