THE TRUTH ABOUT THE NITRATES IN YOUR FOOD
Usually associated with processed meats, nitrates and nitrites are potentially cancer-causing compounds. But what are they, really – and are they always detrimental?
If you do think of nitrates in the context of food, it is probably a negative image that comes to mind – in particular, perhaps, the recent call for nitrate and nitrite preservatives to be banned from bacon and ham because of potential cancer-causing effects.
But the relationship between dietary nitrates/nitrites and health is a lot more nuanced than merely saying “they’re bad for us”. For example, the high natural nitrate content of beetroot juice has been credited with lowering blood pressure and enhancing exercise performance. Nitrates are also the active ingredient in some medications for angina, a condition in which reduced blood flow causes chest pain.
Only around 5% of nitrates in the average European diet come from processed meats, while more than 80% are from vegetables.
Developed using the latest in nitrate, water hardness and radiation testing technology, Greentest Eco 6 GOLD detects nitrate levels in 64 of the most commonly consumed fruit and vegetables as well as all types of meat and fish. Additionally, it detects total dissolved solids (TDS) in water (or water hardness), as well as background radiation in your immediate environment alerting you to unsafe radiation exposure. It’s unique rapid analysis feature can tell you in just 3 seconds if your food, water or environment is harmful to your health.
