Some nutritional supplements Which are used in the processing of meat can be associated with the development of cancer. That is the conclusion drawn by researchers from the National Cancer Institute in Rockville, United States.
They found that the nitrites and nitrates, sodium That is, the type of salt that is added, for example, sausages, bacon and canned ham, can react with the gastric juice. This leads to the formation of carcinogenic N-nitroso components during the digestion process.
Adults who consumed the highest amount of nitrate and nitrite, 30% more at risk of bladder cancer Than those who prefer low doses. The scientists tested more than 300 thousand men and women aged 50 to 71 years to establish the relationship between food additives in meat and cancer risk.
People were asked to complete questionnaires on types of meat they eat, as well as ways of making it. The study began in 1995, and the entire group of people were followed for 8 years. During this period 854 people have developed bladder cancer .
It turned out that it hurt most those whose diet was rich nitrates and nitrites of sodium . Previously, scientists have found a link between the consumption of red and processed meat and the risk of developing several types of cancer. It was possible to establish that if a person reduces the time a daily dose of meat, the long-term risk of developing cancer is reduced by 50%.
