Default Environmental nitrates linked to Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, and diabetes
Environmental nitrates linked to Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, and diabetes

Researchers at Rhode Island Hospital discovered a link between nitrates in the environment and deaths from common diseases. As exposure to environmental and dietary nitrates increased, so did the rates of death from Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, and diabetes mellitus.
Suzanne de la Monte, leader of the research team, comments, “We have become the nitrosamine generation”. Nitrates are used as preservatives in food, especially meat products. When combined with the high amine content of meats, nitrosamines are almost always formed. Nitrosamines are also formed easily during high temperature cooking or in the acid environment of the stomach.
