yes, I do know that it's a carcinogen. May be I didn't ask the question clear enough. I have come across some articles saying that whether nitrate is cancer causing is still not 100% sure because it's true in animals but not yet in human beings, so I kinda see it as the same case as aspartame.
And since Atkins also mentioned that aspartame might trigger insulin level, other than it's unsure safety, I was wondering is there some other reason that I shouldn't have normal bacon/sausage because I'm on this diet? Wondering if it interferes with the biochemistry that's happening in my body?
And if nitrate is a carcinogen is the only reason that we should avoid it, in other words, everyone should too right?
Just wanna make my question clear. Thanks.
