    Although many people like to eat preserved foods now, such foods often contain a lot of nitrate, which will be converted into nitrite in the stomach, and then combined with the amine in the food to form nitrite, which has a strong carcinogenic effect. Sexually, it leads to an increased chance of cancer of the digestive organs such as the stomach, intestines and pancreas.
