"They produce bacon, pep-peroni, ham, sandwich meat, breakfast sausage and other products that use an ingredient called sodium nitrite in order to turn those foods an appealing shade of red. This is also misdirection because it makes the foods look red so that you believe they are fresh and healthy; in fact, sodium nitrite, when consumed by the human body, forms some of the most highly carcinogenic chemical compounds ever recorded in the world of foods and nutrition. They're called nitrosamines, and these nitrosamines directly promote cancers throughout the body, most notably colorectal cancer." - Mike Adams, Spam Filters for Your Brain (Get the book.)

"Any food additives •r Potassium bromate, propyl gallate, sodium nitrite, sodium nitrate, monosodium glutamate, etc. Check out the Center for Science in the Public Interest's website for further information and updates: www.cspinet.org/reports/chemcuisine.htm. Toxin Rich Foods • ?Red meats (unless organic or grass-fed) and organ meats (liver, thymus or sweetbreads, and kidneys) • ?Large predatory fish and river fish, including swordfish, tuna, tilefish, and shark, which contain mercury and other contaminants in unacceptable amounts. • ?" - Mark Hyman MD, The UltraMind Solution: Fix Your Broken Brain by Healing Your Body First (Get the book.)

"So it is important to continue to read them, religiously looking out for the poisonous ingredients we just threw out: • Partially hydrogenated or hydrogenated fats and oils • Artificial sweeteners • High-fructose corn syrup and other refined sugars • sodium nitrite and sodium nitrate • Monosodium glutamate (MSG) • Sulfites (sulfur dioxide and sodium bisulfite) • Potassium bromate • Preservatives (such as BHA, BHT, TBHQ) • Artificial colors (such as FD&C Red No. 3, Yellow Nos. 5 and 6, Blue Nos." - Frank Lipman, Mollie Doyle, Spent: Revive: Stop Feeling Spent and Feel Great Again (Get the book.)

"Sodium nitrite or nitrate These toxic preservatives are used in meat processing to stabilize color, give a characteristic flavor, and inhibit the growth of dangerous botulism-causing bacteria. sodium nitrite or sodium nitrate is found in ham, frankfurters, smoked fish, corned beef, and luncheon meats. Studies suggest that nitrites or nitrates can lead to the formation of nitrosasmines, which are potent cancer causing chemicals. Both children and adults should avoid fatty, salty foods that contain sodium nitrite or sodium nitrate." - Marcia Zimmerman, C.N., The A.D.D. Nutrition Solution: A Drug-Free Thirty-Day Plan (Get the book.)

"In addition to inhibiting bacterial growth, raisins bring multiple nutritional benefits to products traditionally preserved with sodium nitrite because they are high in antioxidants and have lots of fiber. In blind taste tests, a scientific panel in Oregon State University's Sensory Research Laboratory in Corvallis evaluated raisin jerky, typical commercial-type jerky made with sodium nitrite, and jerky made without any preservatives. The three types of jerky were evaluated for flavor, texture, chewiness, overall liking, and appearance." - Michael Murray, N.D. and Joseph Pizzorno, N.D., The Encyclopedia of Healing Foods (Get the book.)

"Colon cancer is also prompted by any toxic chemicals that might be in your foods such as sodium nitrite, which is found in most packaged meat products including pepperoni, sausage, bacon, and so on. When these sit in your colon for an extended period of time, they're going to cause colon cancer because they are toxic to biological systems. These chemicals are going to impact the tissues that surround them, and those tissues include your large intestine and your colon." - Mike Adams, Natural Health Solutions (Get the book.) "Processed meat producers, for example, are allowed to add cancer-causing sodium nitrite to bacon, sausage, pepperoni, ham, and other meat products. Food manufacturers are allowed to use unlimited quantities of partially hydrogenated oil, a substance best described as "poison" to the cardiovascular system, and which has also been linked to abdominal fat, diabetes, and neurological disorders. Soda beverage companies are allowed to use aspartame, a chemical excitotoxin that breaks down into chemical constituents such as formaldehyde that cause nerve damage, according to Dr." - Mike Adams, Natural Health Solutions (Get the book.) "Allowed the continued legal use of harmful, cancer-causing food additives in the national food supply such as sodium nitrite (which causes cancer and yet is intentionally added to nearly all processed meats). Refused to ban a poisonous artificial fat from the food supply (hydrogenated oils) for decades, even though the World Health Organization urged member nations to outlaw the substance in 1978. Hydrogenated oils continue to harm infants, children, and adults today." - Mike Adams, Natural Health Solutions (Get the book.)

"This is because sodium nitrite has a salty taste and is water-soluble. All you have to do is add a little sea salt, free of aluminum, to bring back the taste. I also advise cooking bacon in extra virgin olive oil. Just pour a thin layer over the bottom of the pan and sprinkle with turmeric, which will dissolve in the oil and give your bacon a nice bright yellow color. The flavonoid curcumin in the turmeric is a powerful cancer-inhibiting substance, and will protect the meat from forming dangerous heterocyclic amines (cancer-causing chemicals formed when meat is seared) in your body." - Russell L. Blaylock, M.D., Health and Nutrition Secrets (Get the book.)

"Freezing, drying, and treatment with chemicals such as sodium nitrite prevent C. botulinum spores from growing and producing toxins. Although it does not kill the spores themselves, heating food to a temperature of at least 176°F for thirty minutes prevents food poisoning by destroying the lethal toxins. Another microorganism that can cause food poisoning is Campylobacter jejuni." - Phyllis A. Balch, CNC, Prescription for Nutritional Healing, 4th Edition: A Practical A-to-Z Reference to Drug-Free Remedies Using Vitamins, Minerals, Herbs & Food Supplements (Get the book.)

"Bacon contains sodium nitrite, which causes cancer, and saturated animal fat, which causes heart disease and obesity. The pancakes are made with refined white flour, which causes nutritional deficiencies, obesity and diabetes. The syrup on top of the pancakes also promotes diabetes and stresses the pancreas. The margarine on top of the pancakes contains hydrogenated oils, which destroy healthy nervous system function as well as severely compromising cardiovascular health." - Mike Adams, The Seven Laws of Nutrition (Get the book.)

"Nitrites—sodium nitrite, potassium nitrite. sodium nitrite is used primarily to cure meats in that megabusiness. This chemical is a color fixative that works by reacting with the muscle myoglobin to create a red color like that of blood. sodium nitrite also protects against the growth of the bacterium Clostridium Botulinum, which causes botulism. It adds a tangy taste to the meats treated with it. These meats include hams, bacon, lunch meats, bologna, frankfurters, meat spreads, some smoke-cured fishes, and corned beef." - Elson M.

"The USDA also has cover-ups and denials about mad cow disease, fraudulent testing results of mad cow disease, massive caving in to the financial interests of industries like the sugar industry and a denial of the harmful effects of food preservatives like sodium nitrite and MSG. Gatekeepers of scientific "truth" These institutions ?the FDA, the USDA, med schools and scientific journals ?" - Mike Adams, Spam Filters for Your Brain (Get the book.) "You don't want people to realize that sugar causes diabetes and obesity, or that preservatives like sodium nitrite cause cancer. The stronger the marketing efforts are from food, pharmaceutical and cosmetic companies, the less people are informed and the less they know. In fact, it is only through this dumbing down of the population that these companies can be successful, because only an ignorant person would pay twice as much for a nutritionally depleted food product as a wholesome, natural product. Nevertheless, that's exactly what's going on today at the grocery store." - Mike Adams, Spam Filters for Your Brain (Get the book.) "This is also misdirection because it makes the foods look red so that you believe they are fresh and healthy; in fact, sodium nitrite, when consumed by the human body, forms some of the most highly carcinogenic chemical compounds ever recorded in the world of foods and nutrition.

"It also includes chemicals such as tobacco and nicotine, caffeine and food additives such as sodium nitrite. You also want to be avoiding hydrogenated oils and excitotoxins such as MSG and aspartame. As you are devising a strategy to achieve a high state of nutrition in your own body, make sure you pay attention to which foods, food ingredients and chemicals you need to avoid in order to maintain that nutrition in your body." - Mike Adams, The Seven Laws of Nutrition (Get the book.)

"Nitrosamines are formed when we consume foods that have been processed with sodium nitrite or sodium nitrate, such as frankfurters, sausages, and bacon. sodium nitrite is added to these particular foods to fix the red-pink color, inhibit bacterial growth, and enhance flavor. According to the 1979 review of food safety policy conducted by the U.S. National Academy of Sciences, it is converted into nitrosamine compounds in our digestive systems. Don't think that just because you don't eat meat, you don't consume nitrites or nitrates, and therefore don't produce the carcinogenic nitrosamines." - Gary Null, The Complete Guide to Health and Nutrition (Get the book.)

"Most hams are brine-cured, which involves injecting or soaking the meat with a solution of water, salt, sugar, and sodium nitrite, then smoking it. Country-cured hams are typically dry-cured in salt, then smoked over fragrant hardwoods and aged at least six months. A mold usually forms during the aging process that must be scraped off and washed away before cooking. Prosciutto, a golden pink, thinly sliced Italian ham, is dry-cured but not smoked. Eaten uncooked, prosciutto is usually added to dishes as a final touch or served as an appetizer with melon or figs." - Michael Murray, N.D. and Joseph Pizzorno, N.D., The Encyclopedia of Healing Foods (Get the book.) "Panelists ranked the 10 percent raisin jerky as superior to the sodium nitrite control and the preservative-free jerky in terms of overall liking, flavor, texture, and appearance. The panelists said the sweet and tangy flavor imparted by the raisins was pleasing and that it made the jerky seem less salty. HOW TO SELECT AND STORE If possible, purchase raisins that are sold in bulk or in transparent containers so that you can judge their quality, checking to see that they are moist and undamaged." - Michael Murray, N.D. and Joseph Pizzorno, N.D., The Encyclopedia of Healing Foods (Get the book.)

"Both turmeric extract and curcumin inhibited the nitrosation of methyl urea with sodium nitrite at acidic pH.98 Turmeric extract and curcumin block the nitrosation reaction of fish extract with sodium nitrite. The nitrosation inhibition by curcumin is mediated through its scavenging, or neutralizing, capability of nitrite ions from the media. The essential chemical structure in curcumin molecule to inhibit the nitrosation reaction has been shown to be the para hydroxy groups in the benzene rings.98 6." - Muhammed Majeed, Ph.D. Vladimir Badmaev, M.D., Ph.D. Uma Shivakumar, Ph.D. R.

"A package of bacon, laced with sodium nitrite, might cost $10 as well. A diet soft drink containing aspartame might sell for six dollars a can. If food and beverage products were priced at level that truly represented their total cost to the consumer, healthful foods like vegetables, organic meats, cold pressed olive oil, avocados, and other similar items would appear inexpensive in comparison." - Mike Adams, Grocery Warning: How to recognize and avoid the groceries that cause cancer, diabetes, heart disease, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, and other common diseases (Get the book.) "This is what happens when people consume metabolic disrupting ingredients such as hydrogenated oils, MSG, sodium nitrite, and many others. These are all technically poisons, because when consumed on a daily basis over a long period of time, they do in fact induce disease and death. The only reason they aren't labeled poisons is because they don't kill people overnight. But they do, in fact, kill people over the years. This fact has been well documented in the scientific literature." - Mike Adams, Grocery Warning: How to recognize and avoid the groceries that cause cancer, diabetes, heart disease, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, and other common diseases (Get the book.)

There are many problems associated with eating these processed meats." - Elson M. Haas, M.D., Staying Healthy with Nutrition: The Complete Guide to Diet and Nutritional Medicine (Get the book.)

"But simply not putting sodium nitrite into a cosmetic formula may not be enough to protect the product from nitrosamines, because water in the formula can also be a source of nitrite. Ion exchangers have been suggested to remove nitrite and nitrate from water, but because the ion exchange resins are prepared with amines, they contain minute amounts of nitrosamines themselves. What's more, sodium nitrite is present in the seaming compound used on the 55-gallon metal drums (both new and used) in which cosmetic ingredients are commonly shipped." - Aubrey Hampton, What's in Your Cosmetics?
