Zone 1: Oral cavity (The first sensor)
This is where the process starts. Bacteria on the tongue reduce nitrate (NO3) to nitrite (NO2).
Inhibitor need: If you consume antioxidants with your food or water, they already begin to bind to the free ions here.
Speed: The process is lightning fast, but since the pH here is neutral (around 7),
nitrite is not yet aggressive.
Zone 2: Stomach (High-risk zone)
This is the "reactor core" where the pH drops to 1-2. This is where nitrite becomes extremely reactive and seeks to bond with amines to form the dangerous nitrosamines.
Function of the inhibitors: Antioxidants such as Vitamin C act as a "diverter".
They donate an electron to nitrites faster than the amines can reach it.
Result: The nitrite is converted into Nitric Oxide (NO) – a harmless and even beneficial gas that is absorbed into the bloodstream and helps dilate the vessels.
Automatic Stop: As you said, this happens "faster than the blink of an eye" if the inhibitor is physically present in the acid.
Zone 3: Small Intestine (Absorption Zone)
Here the pH value has risen again (around 6-7).
The function of the inhibitors: Fat-soluble inhibitors such as Vitamin E work here. They protect the cells in the intestinal wall against oxidative stress from the chemical by-products that may have escaped through Zone 2.
Own production: As documented in the 1980 experiment,
an ongoing exchange takes place here, where the body itself can form nitrate.
Zone 4: The Large Intestine (The Anaerobic Generator)
This is the zone of your "internal gas production". Here, the oxygen level is low, and the bacteria use nitrate in their metabolism.
The function of the inhibitors: Here it is primarily dietary fiber and the complex antioxidants from plants (polyphenols),
that keeps the process stable.
The risk: If the nitrite was not "absorbed" in Zone 2, it is here in the colon that you see the increased risk of cancer, as Aarhus University points out.
Prompt: The body is a traveling laboratory.
When nitrate from the water hits the stomach, it can be converted into harmful substances. But if you eat (or drink) vitamin C and antioxidants at the same time, they act as a chemical shield that neutralizes the process.
3 quick tips:
Give the water a counterpoint: A slice of lemon in the glass is not just decoration – the vitamin C helps your stomach deal with the nitrate.
Remember the greens for the meat: Vegetables contain natural "antibodies" that block the formation of harmful nitrosamines.
Check your water: If you live in an area with a lot of agriculture (e.g. Hjørring or Aalborg), it pays to pay extra attention to your body's "chemical cocktail".
It's not just about removing the bad,
but about adding the good!
Dream Level: is increased each time when you "Go Deeper" into the dream. Each new level is harder to achieve and
takes more iterations than the one before.
Rare Deep Dream: is any dream which went deeper than level 6.
