Higher nitrate water and meats were tied to higher cardiovascular disease and/or cancer. Higher nitrate veggies were not. They believe the antioxidants in veggies sends the nitrate down a pathway that makes nitric oxide, while the non-veggie pathway without antioxidants causes the body to make nitrosomines, which are problematic.

Well crap, I drink tap water all the time and I thought that was good. It’s really all I drink, coffee and water. How do I get low nitrate water?

This is so messed up!   When I saw the word nitrate I thought of the preservative additive that I have been avoiding for years.

So now, I am supposed to consider the natural nitrate in my salad versus the natural nitrate in my no nitrite hotdog wieners.   I'm to old for this.

I hear they pack hot dogs in celery juice.

So I’m good.

How about when vegetable sources (e.g., celery juice) are used to preserve meat?

I’ve known two people
in my lifetime who were
vegan an strictly vegatarian.
Both died of stomach cancer.
All four of my grandparents
lived well into their 90’s
eating sausages, bacon,
salami, and bologna.
I take studies such as these
with a grain of salt.

Celery good. Bacon bad. Sad sad sad.
