 Re: Anyone know where to get nitrate free bacon | |
Some recent research has questioned whether nitrite and nitrate do cause cancer. Now obviously nitrate and nitrite as such does not cause cancer (there is loads of nitrates in vegetables) but in meat they have been thought to form nitrosamines which has been linked to cancer. I guess we'll just have to hang in there and see what future research can reveal.
