Abstract/OtherAbstract:
It has been amply demonstrated that N-nitroso compounds are formed by interaction of nitrite with secondary and tertiary amino compounds, and that this reaction can occur in vivo as well as in food processed with nitrite. The favored site of reaction in vivo is the stomach. It is likely that N-nitroso compounds formed in this way, especially nitrosamides, could reach the colon and contribute to the induction of colon tumors.
