But I think the preservatives bother people in general. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-take-on-nitratenitrite-free-meat-in-preg#post-1471865 Thu, 06 Mar 2014 06:51:39 +0000 Beyond2 1471865@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't really think its any different. I thought the no sandwich meat thing was based on listeria risk anyway though so do the nitrates even matter with regards to that risk? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-take-on-nitratenitrite-free-meat-in-preg#post-1471827 Thu, 06 Mar 2014 03:41:39 +0000 Myicitygirl 1471827@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Your body will treat natural and chemical nitrate/nitrite exactly the same. It is misleading for brands like Applegate to tout their products as having no added nitrates because the nitrate/nitrite in celery juice is just as bad for you, and bad for infants </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-take-on-nitratenitrite-free-meat-in-preg#post-1471496 Wed, 05 Mar 2014 21:31:23 +0000 Mae 1471496@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't feel as badly about eating it. My general philosophy is to eat "regular" nitrite-y stuff rarely because that shit will kill you pregnant or not. The nitrite free stuff isn't a staple but in moderation I feel fine about eating it personally. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-take-on-nitratenitrite-free-meat-in-preg#post-1471481 Wed, 05 Mar 2014 21:22:53 +0000 Mrs. Sketchbook 1471481@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Like Applegate brand, where the nitrate/nitrite comes from natural sources (celery seed).....what's your perspective? </p>
