Nitrates
Hmm...
Peatbot: Based on the context provided, nitrates are not considered healthy. They can form nitrosamines, which are powerful carcinogens, especially when nitrates react with amino acids in the stomach or during the cooking process. These nitrosamines are also found in cigarette smoke and are a major carcinogen. Additionally, consuming nitrates, whether from processed meats or industrially produced vegetables, can lead to increased levels of nitric oxide in the body, which can block the ability to use oxygen effectively and weaken the body's ability to resist stress. This can be particularly harmful as it mimics a shock state and can contribute to various health issues, including cardiovascular problems and atrophy of the testicles.
