Every morning, millions of people enjoy bacon, hot dogs, or sausages without a second thought. But did you know these processed meats contain sodium nitrite and nitrate, additives linked to serious health risks? Our latest video dives deep into the science, exposing how these chemicals form cancer-causing nitrosamines in your body.

Our video breaks down the decades-long fight to keep these additives legal and what it means for you.
Protecting yourself starts with awareness. By choosing nitrate-free meats or cutting back on processed foods, you can reduce your risk. Our video offers practical tips to make healthier choices without sacrificing flavor. Watch it now to get the full scoop and take control of your health!
