Due to the water content in the meat from curing

I am almost positive that bacon soda curing cancer is a myth. So no.

No, as strictly bacon and ham come from pigs. You can treat any meat by curing it like bacon. Even though a ground hog is more like a mole you could do it, but the bacon or ham might not taste too good.

Gammon originates with a pig. It is the hind leg of pork, cut from a side of bacon after curing.

first of all you can grill bacon it takes a little longer but so what anyway when you grill it all of the grease drips off also you can cut the fat off.

You can buy low sodium brands that use less salt in the curing. You can eat just a little bacon, and you can bake the bacon in the oven on a wire rack. It let's the fat drip away as the first answer described. You could also try turkey bacon.
