RE: The Hoggs Blog

The Bottom Line:

All cured meats (hot dogs, bacon, bologna) contain nitriates and/or nitrates, and whether they are added as synthetic chemicals or as naturally occurring in celery juice and other plants, the combination of process meats and nitrites/nitrates leads to an increase in colon cancer.

Here's the explanation:

Why are nitrates and nitrites used in meat products?

1. To give cured meat such as ham, bacon, and hot dogs their pink color.
2. To prevent the growth of bacteria that can lead to food-borne illnesses such as Botulism.
3. To preserve products so they can have a longer shelf-life.
4. To provide the distinctive cured flavor that we're accustomed to in ham, bacon, and hot dogs.

The above explanation is a commonly accepted statement, this one from Applegate Farms.

What are Nitrites and Nitrates?

Sodium nitrite is a preservative used in some processed meat. Sodium nitrate is a natural antioxidant found in all kinds of vegetables (root veggies like carrots as well as leafy greens like celery and spinach) along with all sorts of fruits and grains. Basically, anything that grows from the ground uses sodium nitrate in the soil as a building block for the plant's growth. When digested or acted upon by bacteria, sodium nitrate breaks down to form sodium nitrite, which has the antimicrobial properties to fight botulism. So, it is only when sodium nitrate becomes sodium nitrite that it becomes a functional preservative. But the sodium nitrate that we consume through fruits, vegetables and grains is also converted to sodium nitrite by our digestivesystem. In other words, our bodies normally and naturally produce sodium nitrite when we eat fruits, vegetables or grains.

During the cooking process, especially under high heat, nitrites can combine with amines, naturally present in meat, to form N-nitroso compounds or Nitrosamines.form nitrosamines, which are known carcinogens. Nitrosamines create cell damage in the body and cause cancer, typically in the colon
