It has been hypothesized that dietary nitrate and nitrite are converted in the stomach to nitrous acid, which reacts … amines and amides to form nitrosamines and nitrosamides, compounds frequently demonstrated to be carcinogenic in animals, and that vitamins C and E inhibit N-… formation by chemically reducing nitrous acid.
