Generated note
Spinach having more nitrate does not make it equal cancer risk. IARC says risk depends on conditions forming N-nitroso compounds; meat can promote these, while vegetables often inhibit them with vitamin C. WHO links 50g/day processed meat to 18% higher colorectal cancer risk. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK326554/ https://www.who.int/news-room/questions-and-answers/item/cancer-carcinogenicity-of-the-consumption-of-red-meat-and-processed-meat

"Bacon contains nitrites and nitrites cause cancer." A 100g portion of bacon contains roughly 5.5 mg of nitrate. A 100g portion of spinach contains roughly 741 mg. Spinach has approximately 130 times more of the substance bacon is being prosecuted for. Around 80 percent of dietary nitrate in the human diet comes from vegetables. The leafy salad your dietitian recommends is, by mass, a nitrate delivery system that makes a rasher look like a rounding error. The standard rebuttal is that vegetable nitrates are different. They are not. The exact same molecule, absorbed in the exact same gut, recirculates through the exact same salivary glands, gets reduced to nitrite by the exact same bacteria on the back of the tongue, and ends up in the exact same stomach. The pathway is called the enterosalivary circulation. It is how your body makes nitric oxide. It is the basis of every beetroot pre-workout product on the shelf. The absolute increase in colorectal cancer risk from 50g of processed meat per day is roughly 0.7 percentage points over a lifetime. One in twenty-five becomes one in twenty-one. Only if you eat that much, every day, for the rest of your life. The molecule isn't the problem. The framing is. Eat the bacon.
