Fat 'counters vitamin C benefits' Apr 9, 2007
Nitrite, which is present in saliva and comes from nitrate in our diet, is thought to be able to trigger gastric cancer.

Nitrite, which is present in our saliva and is derived from nitrate in our diet, is thought to be a pre-carcinogen for gastric cancer. When it is swallowed and enters the acidic environment of the stomach, nitrite spontaneously forms nitrosating species able to convert a range of targets, such as secondary amines and bile acids, into carcinogenic N-nitrosocompounds.
