Nitrates Removal
While Nitrate is non-toxic, it is reduced to Nitrite by bacteria in the stomach.
Nitrite, once it enters the bloodstream, can reduce the body’s ability to transport oxygen. Most vulnerable are infants under the age of six months who can suffer from ‘Blue Baby Syndrome’, kidney dialysis patients, the elderly and those with compromised immune systems. Nitrate intake has also been linked to many forms of cancer.
