The Japanese is very common disease of stomach cancer. It is proved that the cause is the habit to eat smoked fish soaked nitrosamines. But not only the smoked products are sources of nitrate - nitrate rich vegetables, more greenhouse.
The maximum amount of nitrates found in vegetables, mainly in the early radishes, leafy greens and beets, slightly less than in cucumbers, cabbage, carrots, pumpkin, zucchini. To minimize the concentration of nitrates in vegetables and fruits should be consumed freshly picked or stored in the refrigerator.
Particularly dangerous nitrosamines are in conjunction with mycotoxins, especially with aflatoxin. Mycotoxins - a toxic products of metabolism of some fungi, their health risk increases with hypovitaminosis C and E. Therefore, to block the formation of toxic compounds nitrosamines and mycotoxins should consume more vitamins C and E.

And you can add to the diet of oranges or lemons, black currants, strawberries and other foods rich in antioxidants mentioned.

Because the accumulation of methemoglobin leads the body to hypoxia. The only sign of poisoning is staining of the skin around the lips in brown and blue, which gradually spreads throughout the body. A lack of oxygen the blood can lead to the progression of chronic diseases and premature aging.
For quick removal of nitrates from the body requires a large amount of fluid intake, and it gives an excessive voltage urinary system. Therefore, it is better to avoid regular consumption of smoked, strengthen the body's defenses with the help of vitamins with antioxidant activity - C and E.
