A clinical study examining the effects of dietary nitrate on urinary N-nitrosamines
These findings suggest that a 5-wk dietary intake of nitrate mostly exceeding the current consensus for upper limit of the acceptable daily intake (3.7 mg/kg/d), whether provided as a vegetable source or as a nitrate salt, does not increase urinary excretion of N-nitrosamines. This study was registered at clinicaltrials.gov as NCT02916615.
