Steve, you're so right. I don't eat food w/ nitrates at home but I do when I am having breakfast at a restaurant, which I do ea. Friday w/ friends.
It is hard to find anything to eat for b'fast at local restaurants. I have been carrying fruit (vit C) in my purse thinking that it would counteract the nitrates/nitrites. Apparently I was wrong all these years....
So... other than eggs (non-organic) & the fruit I carry, what can I eat? Maybe I can ask for a salad. That said, I like my daily breakfast to be my high protein meal.
