I don’t understand why they specify “cured meats like jerky” as containing nitrates/nitrites.
A great many processed meats (your baloney, your bacon, anything “red” that has to look “red”…) have nitrates/nitrites.
Why the emphasis on just “jerky”? (Does it typically have significantly more?)

Good point, good question. And what about some of those expensive Italian or Spanish hams - are they just “time” or “time and nitri/ates”. What about a good saucisson sec? Too many questions - must do some research.

I love that Krave stuff but it’s spendy! I’ll buy a bag or two when I’m flying across the country, though. A nice hit of protein.

I’m a little disappointed that the cause of issues were Nitrates as opposed to finding out that the jerky was actually soylent green. That would have been more interesting to me.

Exactly. I read the whole paper…the authors are aware that their sampling methods are not the best. In that light this BB headline should be:
“Eating beef jerky could lead to mental illness, but it also could not.”
Anyone remembers the study about bald men and aggressive behavior? It’s the same story.

Nice try Fake News, you don’t get to blame the 2016 election on good old American beef jerky.
