[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The curing process and the nitrates are bad for you. Somehow it has a carcinogenic effect. Even the organic/nitrate free are bad because it is still cured, but the nitrites are “naturally occurring” with celery salt or some other natural curing agent vs added nitrates, but it still has nitrates. [/quote] This poster is correct. https://www.hsph.harvard.edu/news/hsph-in-the-news/processed-meats-caution/[/quote] The PPs above have the correct answer. It is the curing process and nitrates that are carcinogenic and put cured meats in an entirely different categories of food compared to regular meats. Now you can also add to that what some other people have flagged : levels of sodium, highly processed mix and mash of low quality meats for some (not all) deli meats. But that’s another layer of issues. [/quote]
