Read More »As one of the most polarizing foods on the planet, people tend to have a strong opinion when it comes to Spam. While some love it for its distinct flavor and versatility, others dismiss it as an unappetizing mystery meat.

Read More »Loaded With Sodium Spam is very high in sodium, packing nearly one-third of the recommended daily amount into a single serving (1). Some research shows that some people may be more sensitive to the effects of salt ( 12 ). People with high blood pressure may especially benefit from reducing sodium intake, as studies show that cutting down on sodium can help lower blood pressure ( 13 , 14 ). High salt intake may also impair the blood flow in salt-sensitive individuals, which can cause issues like bloating and swelling ( 15 ). What’s more, a review of 10 studies in over 268,000 people associated a higher intake of sodium with a higher risk of stomach cancer over a period of 6–15 years ( 16 ). Summary Spam is high in sodium, which may be an issue for people with a sensitivity to salt and for those with high blood pressure. High sodium intake may also be linked to a higher risk of stomach cancer. High in Fat Spam is very high in fat, with about 15 grams in a single two-ounce (56-gram) serving (1). Fat is significantly higher in calories than protein or carbs, with each gram of fat containing about nine calories ( 17 ). Compared to other sources of protein like meat, poultry, fish or legumes, Spam is significantly higher in fat and calories but offers little else in terms of nutrition. For example, gram-for-gram, Spam contains 7.5 times the amount of fat and nearly twice as many calories as chicken, not to mention less than half the amount of protein (1, 18). Frequently indulging in high-fat foods like Spam without making adjustments to other parts of your diet could potentially increase your overall calorie intake and contribute to weight gain in the long run. Summary Compared to other protein sources, Spam is high in fat and calories but low in protein. Frequently eating Spam without adjusting your diet and calorie intake could cause weight gain. Convenient and Shelf-Stable One of the biggest benefits of Spam is that it’s convenient and easy to prepare when running short on time or with limited ingredients available. It’s also shelf-stable, which makes it simpler to stock up on compared to perishable protein foods like chicken or beef. Because Spam is already cooked, it can be eaten straight from the can and requires minimal preparation prior to eating. It’s also highly versatile and can be added to a wide variety of recipes. Some of the most popular ways to enjoy Spam include adding it to sliders, sandwiches, pasta dishes and rice. Summary Spam is convenient, shelf-stable, highly versatile and can be added to a variety of dishes.
