    Vegetables absorb nitrogen fertilizer or nitrogen in the soil, and will accumulate non-toxic nitrate. Under certain conditions (such as bacterial action or self-enzymatic action), nitrate is easily converted into nitrite. Nitrite can synthesize nitrosamine with protein decomposition products (this reaction is easy to carry out in the stomach). Nitrosamine has a certain carcinogenic effect, which can cause digestive tract cancer, such as gastric cancer. Many experts warn that nitrite in vegetables is likely to be more harmful than pesticides.
