“nitrites are found in processed Meats right so they're a preservative they're found in bacon in you know ham lunch meats hot dogs like things like that right they can be converted you know when we digest them and they can be converted in our gut to nitrosamines and these are car cens and this is why processed Meats has been classified sort of as a carcinogen because there's there's bacon bacon with yeah especially when you're cooking it at like a high temperature you can convert it to the nitrous amines as well”
Main Takeaways:
- Nitrites are used as preservatives in processed meats such as bacon, ham, and hot dogs.
- During digestion, nitrites can convert into nitrosamines, which are carcinogenic.
- The conversion of nitrites to nitrosamines, especially at high cooking temperatures, is a health concern.

“the nitrates you know are something that's found in plants they're in vegetables they're in Greens they're you know all over in nature they can also be converted into um nitrites and then ultimately n amines however vitamin C prevents the conversion so vitamin C is also found in plants so packaged together so that's why when you eat you know a lot of plants or like beets have a lot of nitrates you know beet beetroot juice extract is high in nitrates but it's also high in vitamin C and when you have the vitamin C there it converts the nitrates into nitric oxide”
Main Takeaways:
- Nitrates are naturally found in plants and vegetables.
- Vitamin C in plants prevents the conversion of nitrates into potentially harmful nitrites and n amines.
- Consuming foods high in both nitrates and vitamin C, like beets, can lead to the production of beneficial nitric oxide.
