Sodium nitrite is a salt and an anti-oxidant that is used to cure meats like ham, bacon and hot dogs. In fact, the amount of nitrate in some vegetables can be very high.

spinach for example may contain 500 to 1900 parts per million.

There is another source of nitrite in the body. Called the “Molecule of the Year” by Science Magazine in 1992.

Cured meats by their defi -nition must include sodium nitrites.

At room temperature, ammonia is a colorless, highly irritating gas with a pungent, suffocating odor.
- In pure form, it is known as anhydrous ammonia and is hygroscopic (readily absorbs moisture).
- - Ammonia gas dissolves easily in water to form ammonium hydroxide, a caustic solution and weak base.
  - - Ammonia is not highly flammable, but containers of ammonia may explode when exposed to high heat.
    - - Ammonia gas is easily compressed and forms a clear liquid under pressure.

Nitrates and nitrites are nitrogen-oxygen chemical units which combines with various organic and inorganic compounds. Once taken into the body, nitrates are converted into nitrites. The greatest use of nitrates is as a fertilizer.

Nitrate (NO3) is a compound of the elements nitrogen and oxygen. Nitrates are important to all living systems. Plants, especially, require it to develop and produce seeds. Nitrogen, the main component of Earth's atmosphere, is a relatively inert substance. Nitrate (NO3) is a compound of the elements nitrogen and oxygen. Nitrates are important to all living systems.

Not only that, but a truly nitrate-free hot dog would be much more likely to make you sick than a conventional one.
Nitrates are used in curing, which is a broad category of techniques for preserving foods, mainly meat and fish, that involves the use of salt, sugar, or some form of dehydration.
Nitrates and nitrites are chemical compounds commonly used in making cured meat products like bacon and hot dogs. A lot of ink has been spilled discussing the idea that nitrates and nitrites are bad for you, and food manufacturers have introduced all kinds of supposedly "nitrate-free" products to meet the resulting consumer demand.One of the things that happens when sodium nitrate is used as a curing agent is that the sodium nitrate is converted to sodium nitrite. It's sodium nitrite that actually possesses the antimicrobial properties that make it a good preservative. Interestingly, the sodium nitrate that we consume through fruits, vegetables and grains is also converted to sodium nitrite by our digestive process. In other words, when we eat fruits, vegetables or grains, our bodies produce sodium nitrite.

Nitrites are the reason cured meat is pink or red.

So nitrates and nitrites are both harmless and ubiquitous. But is it really possible that eating nitrate-free meats could actually be more dangerous than eating meats that do contain sodium nitrate? The answer is yes.
Given that sodium nitrate occurs naturally in foods like spinach, carrots and celery, as well as the fact that nitrite has never been shown to cause cancer, all the fuss about nitrates and nitrites might seem like typical media-driven hysteria. Moreover, the supposedly "natural" or "organic" versions of these products can contain many times more sodium nitrate than their conventional counterparts. But when you consider the increased likelihood of contracting botulism, it's actually the nitrate-free products that present the real health risk.

One of the earliest methods for curing food involved the use of salt. Salt prevents food spoilage through a process known as osmosis, whereby it basically sucks the moisture out of the bacteria's bodies, killing them by dehydration.

If this seems strange, remember that the word nitrate refers to a compound made of nitrogen, which is the single biggest component of our atmosphere.

Nitrate and nitrite are related nitrogen compounds that occur naturally in soil, water, plants, and food. They are formed when microorganisms in the environment break down organic materials, such as plants, animal manure, and sewage. Nitrate can also be found in chemical fertilizers. Nitrite is used as a curing agent for meat. Nitrate is more commonly found in water than nitrite

Hadassah

2015-10-19 23:25:24 UTC

Nitrate can get into your drinking water from runoff or seepage into ground water from farms, golf courses, home lawns and gardens. Other sources of nitrate and nitrite in water include landfills, poorly managed animal feedlots,and faulty septic systems. If you have a private well,nitrate may get into the water more easily if your well is poorly construct edor improperly located

Named after the Greek word nitron, for "native soda," and genes for "forming," nitrogen is the fifth most abundant element in the universe. Nitrogen gas constitutes 78 percent of Earth's air, according to the Los Alamos National Laboratory. On the other hand, the atmosphere of Mars is only 2.6 % nitrogen.
