A typical diet that has an insane amount of processed meat containing nitrites and nitrates that form nitrosamines when cooked?
I wholly expect to die from colorectal cancer.
- gnicholas 3y agoThe worst part is how they deceptively hide the nitrites/nitrates. They extract it from celery powder or sea salt and then claim "no nitrites except those naturally occurring in the ingredients". That makes it sound like there is an ingredient that has a trace amount of preservatives, when in reality they have one ingredient that is the source of all of the preservatives, and which was only included for that reason. Even if you're being conscientious, and you're aware that preservatives can occur in natural things and be distilled from those sources, you still have to read the label like a lawyer to avoid getting dosed.
