      Dr Atkins said it was because nitrates are known carcinogens. I dont know if that is still a current accepted medical opinion or not.
      Wondering how to get 'most' of your net carbs from your induction veggies?
      Take a look at the thread from the latest Veggie Challenge to see how others manage it!
