Source-specific nitrate intake and all-cause mortality in the danish diet, cancer, and health study

HIGHLIGHTS

• What: In this light, this study aimed to examine associations between dietary nitrate and nitrite intake from various sources and all-cause, CVD-related and cancer-related mortality. This study shows, for the first time, that higher intakes of nitrite in particular, from animal sources-both inherent and additive-may also increase the risk of all-cause and CVD-related mortality. In contrast, the study demonstrated an 8% higher risk of mortality at water nitrate concentrations of 1.4 mg/L, with the association plateauing at a risk of approximately 13-14% at concentrations around 2.4 . . .
