Nitrosamines

The by-products of this process are potential cancer-causing substances called nitrosamines and toxic lysinoalanine. ❋ Craig Cooper (2010)

On top of that, beer contains compounds known as nitrosamines, which cause cancer in animals. ❋ Unknown (2011)

A cascade of events can convert these compounds into what are called nitrosamines, and many, but not all, nitrosamines are linked to cancer. ❋ Unknown (2010)

"Moreover, the strikingly higher and climbing mortality rates in older age brackets suggest that aging and/or longer durations of exposure have greater impacts on progression and severity of these diseases." nitrates belong to a class of chemicals called nitrosamines that are created by a chemical reaction between nitrites or other proteins. ❋ Unknown (2009)

According to nutritionists, the stomach can convert nitrites into chemicals known as nitrosamines, which are potentially carcinogenic. ❋ Unknown (2009)

It’s true that nitrites, which help preserve meat by killing potentially toxic bacteria, can be converted into carcinogens called nitrosamines by the stomach. ❋ Unknown (2009)

They’re common pH stabilizers, but when they’re exposed to air, they form potentially irritating substances called nitrosamines. ❋ Michael F. Roizen (2008)

Spit tobacco contains harmful agents such as nitrosamines, formaldehyde, polonium, lead, cadmium and arsenic. ❋ Unknown (2010)

Several other brands, the FDA reported, had chemicals such as nitrosamines, the carcinogens found in tobacco. ❋ Unknown (2010)

But the FDA has found that some brands contain a variety of dangerous chemicals, including nicotine and carcinogens such as nitrosamines, and that one brand also contained diethylene glycol, the main ingredient in antifreeze. ❋ Unknown (2010)

Both nitrates and nitrites can react in the body to form nitrosamines which is the primary health concern. ❋ Unknown (2008)

In a recent study, Dawn was found to form carcinogenic nitrosamines; like most conventional cleaners and cosmetics, Dawn contains "fragrance," a blanket term for synthetic phthalates linked to reproductive deformities in amphibious wildlife and male infants, and asthma and obesity. ❋ Unknown (2010)
