I'm new to low carbs and I've been perusing a section of the grocery store I wouldn't have approached in times past. Cold meat, foods like salami and ham.
I remember it was said they caused cancer, due to things added to them (nitrates?).
What is the latest science about this? Is it a fact, or just misinformation?
Do cold meats without the offending substances exist? What should I look for to be safe?
Another question, not related: I've seen a recipe for chia dessert made with chia seeds, almond milk, heavy cream and vanilla extract. The guy said it was 0 carb. Is this possible? Aren't there carbs in these ingredients?
