[QUOTE="Oldvatr, post: 1967899, member: 196898"] [URL]https://eurekamag.com/pdf/006/006042415.pdf[/URL] The source of this is not one I recognise, but seems to be the journal of agricultural chemistry. Nitriles have been found to bind to glutathione in the body, and this is understood to produce carcingenic metabolytes. The nitriles are derived from Hydrogen cyanide (HCN) that in turn can be produced from either the nitrites or nitrates, so may be the actual culprit doing the damage. It may be too simplistic to blame it solely on nitrile addition to a product that has been used by generations without any epidemics, although if it is found to be safe to replace it then we should of course review its use as a preservative. Edit to add: The bowelcancer people are totally reliant on one scientific study published by WHO. There is growing opinion that this report has poor scientific evidence and has evidence of bias toward an anti animal agenda. [/QUOTE]
