Celery powder they use in the so called "natural" bacon has a whole lot more nitrate in it than reqular bacon. Regular store bought bacon, is cured with sodium nitrite, which breaks down into nitric oxide when heated. Notice that I spelled correctly nitrite. It is not the the same as sodium nitrate. Sodium nitrate is normally used to cure meat that will be cured over a long period of time and eaten raw.
