Nitrates are added to processed meat to prevent food poisoning, but are they dangerous to consume? Alexander Spatari/Getty Images
Nitrates are usually associated with processed meats, like bacon or bologna. But should you be worried about them? Suprisingly, nitrates are not always bad.
First, a crash course on what nitrate is. Nitrogen is a chemical element necessary for living things to survive and grow. Nitrate (NO3) is one of the nitrogen compounds that is used by animals and plants as a source of nitrogen (nitrite is another NO2). Nitrates differ from nitrites in their chemical makeup, with nitrates containing three oxygen compounds and nitrites containing only two, explains registered dietician Kristin Gillespie, M.S., R.D., L.D., CNSC. Nitrates are stable and unlikely to cause bodily harm; however, bacteria and enzymes have the ability to convert them into nitrites which may be harmful.
