Total nitrites and additive-originated nitrites are linked to higher diabetes risk, according to a study published online Jan. 17 in PLOS Medicine.
Bernard Srour, Ph.D., M.P.H., from Sorbonne Paris Nord University, and colleagues examined the association between nitrites/nitrates and type 2 diabetes (T2D), distinguishing foods and water-originated nitrites/nitrates from those from food additives. The analysis included self-reported exposures from 104,168 adults followed for a median 7.3 years.
