    Some preserved vegetables and meat contain excessive amounts of nitrite and nitrosamines. If consumed regularly, these salt by-products can cause cancer under certain circumstances. This is the case when there is a lack of vitamin C in food for a long time. At this time, nitrite and nitrosamine cannot be metabolized normally, and slowly accumulating in the body may cause cancer. Therefore, cooks should use less preserved vegetables and meat, especially salted fish and bacon. If you cook such foods, you need to use vitamin C-rich ingredients to minimize the risk of cancer.
