See article keywords and concepts |  Although today the use of refrigeration is largely what protects consumers from botulism and bacteria, manufacturers still add sodium nitrite to make the meat look pinkish and fresh.
The nitrites themselves are not the problem. People get more nitrites from vegetables than they do from meat, according to research by the University of Minnesota. During the digestion process, however, sodium nitrite is converted to nitrosamine, and that's where the cancer problems begin. |

See book keywords and concepts |  Vitamin C is a protective agent against colon cancer, detoxifying the effects of nitrites in the diet. The vitamin C levels in saliva decline by four times when omeprazole is used and nitrite levels rise by six times when eating a meal with nitrites. [Gastroenterology 116: 812-22, 1999] It is therefore recommended that habitual antacid and proton pump users take vitamin C supplements daily.
NUTRIENTS AND COLON CANCER
Diet and colon cancer: Fats
Obviously, foods pass through the colon and many cases of colon cancer are believed to be related to diet. |
Committee on Comparative Toxicity of Naturally Occurring Carcinogens
See book keywords and concepts |  For example, ingested nitrites interact with amines in the acid conditions of the mammalian stomach to form nitrosamines (Sander et al. 1968). Nitrates are reduced to nitrites by bacteria, especially in saliva.
Nitrites from swallowed saliva or from the diet can produce nitrosa-mines in the stomach (NRC 1981, Kyrtopoulos 1989, Leaf et al. 1989). Because of this, the use of nitrites and nitrates as additives to foods such as meat and fish is strictly regulated. |
Mike Adams, the Health Ranger
See article keywords and concepts |  If you make meat for your children, shop for 100% organic, free-range, antibiotic-free meats that have no nitrites or nitrates.
20. Shampoo and bath products
Virtually all popular shampoo and bath products sold on the market contain cancer-causing chemicals. The ingredients read like a top-40 list of toxic chemicals. Virtually none of these chemicals have ever been tested or approved for use on humans (they are simply ignored because the FDA astonishingly believes the skin won't absorb chemicals). |

In their report on The Third International Soy Symposium, Fallon and Enig presented an interesting overview of the soy question.
Soy processors have worked hard to get these antinutrients out of the finished product, particularly soy protein isolate (spi), which is the key ingredient in most soy foods that imitate meat and dairy products, including baby formulas and some brands of soy milk, spi is not something you can make in your own kitchen. | | A final indignity to the original soybean is high-temperature, high-pressure extrusion processing of soy protein isolate to produce textured vegetable protein (tvp). ... nitrites, which are potent carcinogens, are formed during spray drying, and a toxin called lysinoalanine is formed during alkaline processing. Numerous artificial flavorings, particularly msg, are added to soy protein isolate and textured vegetable protein products to mask their strong "beany" taste, and impart the flavor of meat. |
T. Colin Campbell, Ph.D. and Thomas M. Campbell II
See book keywords and concepts |  I was one of the first scientists to isolate dioxin; I have firsthand knowledge of the MIT lab that did the key work on nitrites, and I spent many years researching and publishing on anatoxin, one of the most carcinogenic chemicals ever discovered—at least for rats.
But while these chemicals are significantly different in their properties, they all have a similar story with regard to cancer. In each and every case, research has demonstrated that these chemicals may increase cancer rates in experimental animals. The case of nitrites serves as an excellent example. |
Lester A. Mitscher and Victoria Toews
See book keywords and concepts |  For example, food additives called nitrites, found in processed meats such as bacon and bologna, are converted in the body to potent carcinogens called nitrosamines. Other dietary mutagens include anatoxin (a natural substance produced by a mold that forms on improperly stored peanuts); heavy metals, such as lead; polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs); and pesticides, such as malathion and DDT. Alcohol does not initiate cancer, but it promotes the growth of a pre-existing abnormal cell. | | Minimize Consumption of Salt-Cured, Salt-Pickled, or Smoked Foods
Nitrates and nitrites, common preservatives used in the processing of meats, can form nitrosamines, which in turn can cause cancer. The smoking of foods also can increase the risk of cancer. Cooking fatty cuts of meat over an open fire or barbecue can result in the formation of carcinogens or pro-carcinogenic substances in the meat.
GREEN TEA'S ANTI-CANCER MECHANISMS
Until recently, many scientists dismissed green tea's reputation as a health-enhancing beverage as folklore, even though it can be traced back thousands of years. | | Another anti-cancer benefit of green tea is its ability to block the formation of carcinogenic nitrosamines from the nitrites and nitrates in processed meats that would otherwise increase the risk of stomach cancer. As little as three to five grams of tea daily, Dr. Smith estimates, would be sufficient to block nitrosamine formation, which would significantly lower the incidence of stomach cancer. Other researchers, from China, confirm that green tea inhibits the transformation of nitrosamines. This conclusion was reached after testing 145 different samples of green, oolong, and black tea. | | Incidentally, drinking tea before a meal that contained nitrites and nitrates was more effective than drinking tea after the meal, researchers found. It seems that the polyphenols in the tea react with the nitrosamine compounds in order to reduce their carcinogenic activity or prevent their formation.5
Green tea extract also offers the promise of preventing cancer by inhibiting the activation of carcinogens. |

During the digestion process, however, sodium nitrite is converted to nitrosamine, and that's where the cancer problems begin. Nitrosamine is a carcinogen, but since it is not technically an ingredient, its presence can be easily overlooked on the packaging. Nitrosamines are also found in food items that are pickled, fried, or smoked; in things such as beer, cheese, fish byproducts, and tobacco smoke. |

See book keywords and concepts |  Patient studies show that higher intake of nitrates and nitrites is associated with a higher risk of developing type 1 diabetes. Grocery-store chicken comes to us having been raised on feed laced not only with hormones and antibiotics but chemical dyes to give the meat a more attractive hue. Indeed, today farmers can select from fifteen different shades of yellow dyes, in a range from light yellow to bright orange, to add to chicken feed in order to make egg yolks the perfect color. Known as tartrazine, or FD&C yellow no. |

The AIDS epidemic followed a huge jump in drug abuse. Every practicing physician who has seen the severe destruction of body and mind in drug-using patients understand that drugs are capable of doing even more harm to a person than just killing them. Drugs are known for their powerful effect of systematically destroying a person's vital functions, including the immune system. | | Narcotic Drugs
Roughly ten years before the discovery of AIDS, the industrial world experienced a dramatic increase in the use of non-prescribed drugs ranging from hashish, marijuana and psychedelics to LSD, MDA, PCP, heroin, cocaine, amyl and butyl nitrites, amphetamines, barbiturates, ethyl chloride, opium, mushrooms and other "tailor-made" drugs. By 1974, five million Americans had used the drug cocaine, and only eleven years later, the figure had jumped to over 22 million. |

See article keywords and concepts | | You can find some without nitrites, but you'll have to look for them in natural grocers or health food stores. Bacon is also high in saturated fat, which contributes to the risk of cancers, including breast cancer. Limiting your consumption of processed meats and saturated fats also benefits the heart.
Doughnuts: Doughnuts contain hydrogenated oils, white flour, sugar, and acrylamides. Essentially, they're one of the worst cancer foods you can possibly eat. |

See book keywords and concepts |  Eating sauerkraut on a hot dog may reduce some of the harmful effects of nitrates and nitrites found in processed meats. Try it on a turkey sandwich with mustard or in a pasta salad.
SAUERKRAUT:
• The sodium content is pretty intense but can be easily lowered by rinsing in a colander under cold water.
• Look for fresh sauerkraut. The friendly bacteria content is much higher than what you would find in pasteurized jars. Once opened, sauerkraut should be used within three days. |

See book keywords and concepts |  If the products also contain nitrites, a chemical reaction can lead to the formation of carcinogenic nitrosamines. Not all products containing DEA or TEA contain nitrosamines, but some may. Other ingredients that pose similar hazards for nitrosamine contamination are 2-bromo-2-nitro-propane-l,3-diol and Padimate-O.
Contaminants linked to breast cancer include PAHs (polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons) and 1,3-butadiene. PAHs may be found in petrolatum, also called petroleum jelly. |

See book keywords and concepts |  Avoid foods containing potentially cancer-causing substances
Smoked meats and other foods containing preservatives such as nitrites (bacon, sausages, prepared delicatessen meats, ham . . .) increase the risk of certain cancers because the nitrites present are transformed through body chemistry into very carcinogenic substances. Limit the consumption of these foods as much as possible, avoiding barbecued meats as well. |
Brenda Watson and Leonard Smith
See book keywords and concepts |  Select unprocessed foods to avoid the preservatives, dyes, nitrates, and nitrites.
Going organic will also help you to limit your consumption of processed and refined foods—most of which are packed with excess sodium, unhealthy fats, and sugar. You will also reap the benefits of the natural chemicals that plants have originally made for their own protection. In their own survival efforts, plants use phytonutrients to protect themselves from disease and to boost their own immunity. |

See book keywords and concepts | | Today, industrial food manufacturers have at their disposal an endless variety of chemical ways to preserve food, including benzoates, BHA, BHT, FD&C dyes, MSG, nitrates, nitrites, parabens, and sulfites. The final step in food processing is the addition of vitamins and minerals, to make up for what was lost during the initial heat-stripping phase. |

See book keywords and concepts | | The concern about nitrates is that they can be converted to nitrites and then to cancer-causing compounds known as ni-trosamines in the gut. However, there are compounds in these vegetables, such as vitamin C and flavonoids, that prevent the conversions from taking place. In contrast, the nitrites and nitrates added to cured meats are easily converted to the cancer-causing nitrosamines. Cured meats are also high in saturated fats and salt and contain other food additives.
Far from being poisonous, organic foods have many benefits. |
