    Nitrate is safe and non-toxic, it will increase the concentration of nitrite in blood vessels, but it will not reach the extent of causing nitrite poisoning. In the stomach of healthy people, it will not produce a large amount of carcinogenic nitrosamines. If you take nitrite directly and reach the level of 1000 mg per day, it will be more dangerous.
