The first article I linked had reference to a study in a medical journal. That's not pseudo-science. There may be obese people who eat bacon every day, but I can guarantee it's not the bacon causing weight gain or retention. There's ~40 calories in a slice of bacon and it greatly satiates appetite. It's low calorie and high in nutrients.
Here is the link from the medical study and some quotes.

Other human trials, not included in the aforementioned meta-analysis, include the Anti-Coronary Club trial, which showed that more people died (overall (26 vs 6) and due to coronary heart disease (8 vs 0)) when saturated fat was replaced with polyunsatured fat.23 The National Diet Heart Trial, a randomised, double-blind study, also showed a higher number of cardiovascular events (n=4) on a diet that was high in the polyunsaturated(P)/saturated(S) fat ratio (2 : 1), than on a diet high in saturated fat (n=1, P/S=0.4).24 Thus, advice to replace saturated fats with polyunsaturated fats (ie, Ω-6) may increase the risk of coronary heart disease, cardiovascular events, death due to coronary heart disease and overall mortality.
That scientific enough for you bruh? Eat that bacon! Get your saturated fats!
Another study showing an inverse relationship from saturated fat intake and death. Again, linked in the first article I posted.

And another, again linked in the first article.

A meta-analysis of prospective epidemiologic studies showed that there is no significant evidence for concluding that dietary saturated fat is associated with an increased risk of CHD or CVD. More data are needed to elucidate whether CVD risks are likely to be influenced by the specific nutrients used to replace saturated fat.
And there were even more scientific studies linked in the original article. And anecdotal evidence is evidence. It would be hard to be the oldest living human on the planet doing something that was unhealthy every day. It's not all luck. There are no 110+ year old smokers or drinkers or people eating lots of sugar and transfats. But some of them are eating bacon every day!
