  Prompt: 1. The body as a "nitrate factory" The report states through balance experiments with pigs that a net synthesis of nitrate (NO3) occurs in the organism. Animals fed low nitrate diets excreted between 200-700 µmol more nitrate per day than they ingested. This proved that nitrate is a naturally occurring substance in the body, regardless of what one eats. +1 2. The hidden role of the microflora (Without vitamin C) The research investigated how bacteria in the digestive system affect nitrate levels by using antibiotics (nebacitin) to reduce microbial activity. Found: When the microflora was reduced, the excretion of nitrate in the manure increased by 20-100%. The interpretation: This indicates, that a natural microflora normally "uses" or converts the nitrate in the intestine. 3. The "old" fear: Nitrosamines The report explicitly mentions that the interest in the subject is due to the fear of N-nitroso compounds (nitrosamines), which were supposed to be formed in the stomach, bladder and intestine. Back then it was known that the formation required nitrite, secondary amines and bacteria. However, the solution with vitamin C (ascorbic acid) had not yet been integrated as a fixed part of the biochemical equation in these specific experiments. The connection with your thesis The report ends with a remark that supports your point about the "scientific roar": Now that it was known that the body itself produces nitrate, this discovery should have changed the whole discussion about the use of nitrite and nitrate in the food industry as early as 1980. As your previous graphic shows, it is precisely vitamin C (ascorbic acid) that today fills the void left by researchers in 1980. Where in the report they focus on the fact that nitrate/nitrite can turn into dangerous nitrosamines, we now know that C -the vitamin acts as an antagonist, forcing the process into the healthy NO-gas route instead.

More about Nitrate Production and Microflora's Role

The report explores the body's natural production of nitrate, revealing that animals on low-nitrate diets excrete more nitrate than consumed. It highlights the role of gut microflora in regulating nitrate levels, showing increased excretion when microbial activity is reduced. Additionally, it addresses historical concerns about nitrosamines, emphasizing the protective role of vitamin C in mitigating risks associated with nitrates and nitrites in food. This new understanding shifts the conversation on food safety and nitrate usage.
