Tip #26 – Say "No" to Nitrites

Preserved and cured meats (bacon, sausage, deli meats, etc.) are the largest source of nitrites in our diet. Nitrites cause the body to form nitrosamines, which are environmental oxidants and powerful carcinogens. Scientists have established a significant association between nitrosamines and stomach cancer.
