Guest guest Posted June 4, 2004 Report Share Posted June 4, 2004 My wife and I were in the check-out line at Sam's Club this evening, and we spied two women who were buying a great many hot dogs. I wrote these words down on a piece of paper: " hot dogs nitrites nitrosamines " and walked over to the women and asked, " Do you have a computer at home? " One of them said " Yes. " I held out the piece of paper to her and said, " I noticed you are buying a lot of hot dogs. I thought you might put these words into a search engine and see what you come up with. Because of the nitrites in them, hot dogs make nitrosamines in the body, making them very carcinogenic. Did you know you can purchase nitrite-free hot dogs? " The two women appeared interested in what I had to say. They took my note and they thanked me. It is so sad that such tremendous numbers of people in this country continue not to give a second thought to what they are eating and to what they are feeding their children.
