Am I the only one that will keep eating whatever I feel like without being worried? |
I think real turkey breast will always be dry. That's why gravy was invented! It also tends to fall apart along the grain, unlike the loaf stuff. |
It's more than OK, it's delicious! |
No...most sane people do not rely on WHO proclamations about stuff that has been known for years to dictate what they do or do not eat. Only people that are really uninformed, and more akin to lemmings than functioning adults, are going to make a big deal about this. |
Its celery juice....wtf. Of course there is something but its not nitrates and I am fine with that. Seriously you people need to quit it. EVERYTHING has something *bad* in it. Ill take the giant turkey over slaughtering it in my backyard and making it. |
yes sweetie, yes it is https://blogs.mcgill.ca/oss/2013/04/04/is-celery-juice-a-viable-alternative-to-nitrites-in-cured-meats/ |
NO honey. Nitrates have to be disclosed as Nitrates. but thanks. |
Please don't link to blogs as an official source to anything. Just because someone typed it on a website doesn't mean it's true. That said, I didn't go to that blog and read what it said. I assume it says that celery juice is a natural source of nitrites. Big whoop. |
I cut back on it for other reasons. Sodium being the big one for me. This not new proclamation from the WHO changes nothing for me. |
Not the PP you are responding to but you don't seem very bright, or maybe you are just misinformed. Anything preserved with celery juice still has nitrates in it because celery itself is high in nitrates. Federal regulations stipulate that only food with added non-natural nitrate have to be labeled as such but at the end of the day nitrate is nitrate, regardless of where it came from. And your body will deal with it the same way...If you are saying the nitrate in celery is not really nitrate, than 10 seconds on google will answer that question for you. |
This would be a good article for you to better educate yourself with, you could learn a thing or 2 from it about celery powder/juice and USDA labeling guidelines which even they admit are "problematic" http://www.nytimes.com/2011/07/02/business/02hotdog.html |
Here you go since you insist on staying in the dark/denial instead of learning what most people already know http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/7777773 http://www.meatsafety.org/ht/d/sp/i/45243/pid/45243 |
Celery juice is a nitrate. It is the same thing. It just can be marketed differently. |
That second source is weird. They don't even say who they are. |
Not true, you could slice an actual turkey breast. |
