Nitrates are converted to nitrites by gut bacteria. We hear of negatives from nitrates, but it appears they are also helpful.

Some veggies have more nitrates than bacon.

The “Take Charge Of Your Health” Ping List

This high volume ping list is for health articles and studies which describe something you or your doctor, when informed, may be able to immediately implement for your benefit.

Email me to get on either the “Common/Top Issues” (20 - 25% fewer pings) or “Everything” list.

The article makes no distinction between wet and dry macular degeneration. My mother has the wet, which is less common but more severe. fewer treatments, too.

“Dietary nitrate intake is associated with a lower risk for progression of age-related macular degeneration (AMD)”

Maybe I’m missing it, but it does not say whether HIGH nitrate intake is good or LOW nitrate intake is good. It uses the vague language above throughout the excerpt.

“Some veggies have more nitrates than bacon.”

That’s okay. I’ll just eat more bacon.
