For years we've been told that processed and/or cured meats increase our risk of cancer. I decided to delve into the research and the common-sense of this issue and see what I could fine. You will be surprised at how strong one is, and how weak the other.
Nitrates and Nitrite containing salts have been used to cure meats for thousands of years, but only since the 1970's have we been told that these natural ions cause cancer. Can you enjoy your bacon, or should you avoid nitrate/nitrite due to the cancer risk?
It took me a couple months to cut through all of the emotion, blustering, and "expert opinion" on this issue and find out what the research actually shows. If you eat bacon. or other processed meats, you want to watch this video.

That was my Mom's biggest fear (she had polio when she was 6, was in an iron lung) is that she'd be stuck on life support. That didn't happen: she dropped dead of a heart attack while climbing the stairs. Coronary artery disease. Most likely from the long-term intake of sugars combined with transfats (which were supposed to be "healthy") (she died in 99)

I can confirm what you said about the celery salt thing. At the company I work for we blend spices and preservatives for the meat industry. We use a product that is made from celery. It is pure sodium nitrate but because it is made from celery not the chemical version of sodium nitrate it is called NATURAL by the meat industry. This stuff is very expensive too. Far more expensive than regular sodium nitrate. It's always amazing to me what THEY say is unhealthy and what the truth actually is. Thanks for clarifying the cured meat thing. I never stopped eating cure meats but now I will enjoy them with a whole new mind frame! Much the same as I enjoy my butter, lard, coconut oil, olive oil and other healthy NATURAL fats. Go, go keto and carnivore! Keto ended my trip to diabetes land 6 years ago! And I've never looked back. Now I enjoy a more low carb diet but I still do intermittent fasting and switch to Keto for a while as well. I know I could go carnivore but I do not have any autoimmune or hormonal issues and I really enjoy some veggies and an occasional piece of fruit! Love your channel. You are one of a very, very few doctors I trust nowadays!

You are confusing a statistical risk factor with an anecdotal case. Young children that live and play near busy highways are at greater risk of sustaining a lethal collision with a vehicle than those who do not. You compare the number of deaths after several years and the effect is undeniable. This is why sensible parents don’t allow their children to play near busy roads. If a parent told you-well I know people that have lived on busy roads all their lives, in fact one is the oldest living person on record, so my kids are just fine playing there-you would think they had gone nuts. That’s essentially what you are saying. An increased probability risk of a disease occurring (or rain falling or anything else) does not guarantee that it will happen, it is an estimate of the chance that it will or won’t. Example: Having the BRC-1 gene increases a woman’s risk of developing breast cancer by 65% by middle age. This also means that 35% of BRC-1 gene carriers will not have developed breast cancer. Not having the cancer but having the gene is not proof that BRC-1 is of no consequence. One very old person eating her daily bacon ration tells us nothing about the potential carcinogenic effects of nitrates on populations.

So this video is very helpful, but it left out any important finding. From the University of Wisconsin: "if high levels of nitrite exist in foods that are high in protein and are exposed to high temperature (>300°F) cooking, such as bacon frying, very small amounts (parts per billion) of nitrosamines (compounds classified as a carcinogen) could be formed." In other words, it's not the nitrite, but it's the combination of nitrites + protein + high temperature that can pose a small risk. Bacon tends to fry at around 400°F, so the act of cooking bacon can create a carcinogen known at nitrosamines.

What about the concept that when cooked in high heat nitrites coupled with amino acids in protein turn into nitrosamines, which is supposedly what actually leads to the "carcinogenic"effect of nitrates and nitrites. I'm surprised nitrosamines weren't mentioned in this video.

I've heard that it's not the nitrates themselves, but it's the cooking process that turns nitrates into a carcinogenic compound called nitrosamines. What are your thoughts on this? Is it true or is it bologna (no pun intended)?

@feliciageorgeson3607 8 ай бұрын

When 35 I immigrated to US. Immediately reacted to those fake colored cherries and to nitrates. No cooked but in vine or coconut water. I neglected to read the ingredients in coco H2O and after 7 minutes I looked as a drunk alcoholic nose and cheeks red beet. I do not drink,no smoke no coffee. But back in my country I ate salami,ham . Bacon preserved with nitrates. I suspect that either they put too much and lie or the way they manufacture the nitrates here is poisonous

@Puvlee 8 ай бұрын

@uffa00001 7 ай бұрын

It's not even the cooking: it's that the nitrates combine in the stomach with the amino acids, creating nitrosamines, which are - allegedly - toxic. Some advise to eat vitamin C, or lemon juice, or Ascorbic Acid with food containing nitrates, because that would prevent the formation of nitrosamines.

@jenniferlynn2108 7 ай бұрын

A lot of vegetables have nitrates also and form nitrosamines also. Not a single thing mentioned about the veggies and that they are carcinogenic…only the processed meats. So I find it’s all bs in general. Why demonize meats but not the vegetables?

I worked as a surgical assistant for many years and remember a lot of the surgeons saying things like “this patient wouldn’t be here right now if they had just done this or that differently”. But of course they would never tell that to the patient because, well, surgeons gotta surgeon! Dr. Berry on the other hand is literally giving information that is spot on accurate without regard of losing potential business. He is doing exactly what doctors should be doing by helping the patient achieve a better and healthier life. You’re definitely putting jewels in your crown if you believe in that sort of thing Dr. Berry. I know I do and I’m very appreciative of all the no nonsense, common sense information I have extracted from your videos. Thank you!

LindyTN - just remember, the carb count on hot dogs or meats with sugar is still extremely low. I would say they use a "touch" of sugar for taste, but it is not overwhelming. The safest way to avoid sugars in food is to eat it naturally like a whole chicken piece or steak. You can slice them thin to mimick lunchmeat.

This video was published 5 years ago and only now are we starting to get some some traction on a national scale. Finally we are starting to take this advice to heart and figure out how essential nitrates are to the human diet. Nice job of being a bit ahead of the main crowd Dr. Berry! (PS I'm a PhD biochemist but got my degree nearly 30 years before the 1998 Noble prize in medicine was awarded for the discovery that endothelial signalling factor was indeed nitric oxide -- so I was as late to the party as anyone! Shame on me!) We need to be taking on higher loads of inorganic nitrates in our diet especially as we age not LESS!
