Heme is the major one relating to colon cancer and there is observational evidence that chlorophyll, very plentiful in dark leafy greens, is protective against that. There is also evidence that the mutagens created by cooking meat can be protected against by indoles phytochemicals, which are most abundant in cruciferous vegetables.

If you slice it before curing - have never done this before or heard of anyone do it but why not? - that will not change the salt/seasoning measurements. Sliced bacon will probably cure faster... 14 days should be enough... Perhaps even 10. Seven days should be the minimum. I like to make sure that all parts are cured well so I do smaller solid pieces for 14 days and larger solid pieces 21 days. Can sliced bacon be cured this long, can any bacon cure for too long? Here is what I think - I've had some solid pieces stay in the fridge vacuum sealed for 2 months before I sliced and froze them, not an issue. They did get a little saltier than usual though. I don't think you can 'overcure' bacon and it won't get way too salty if you measure out the salt/cure like in this recipe. But, of course, you don't want to keep it in the fridge for too long as it will eventually begin to spoil.
