Most Nitrosamines are considered as having the possibility of serious health problems, most notably Cancer. When nitrite is consumed it combines with amino acids in the stomach and produces Nitrosamines. Handling rubber and latex products containing Nitrosamines can cause a risk to disease as well. Studies show that with the increase of nitrite in the environment can lead to food causing diseases such as Alzheimer's, Parkinson's and diabetes Type 2. Dr. Suzanne de la Monte states that our diets have become full of nitrites and amines which combine to form Nitrosamines, causing diseases and most commonly cancer. Not only do Nitrosamines pose a danger to human life, but even a more deadly threat to animals.<ref name=health> Sahelian, Ray.

In 1956, two British scientists were inspecting chemicals used in dry cleaning when they came upon Nitrosamines. John Barnes and Peter Magee confirmed that Nitrosamines caused tumors to grow in rats after exposure. This discovery alarmed scientists, who rapidly began testing about 300 compounds for cancer causing Nitrosamines. The result was that an astonishing 90% were potentially possible to cause cancer. Barnes and Magee’s observation that certain Nitrosamines cause certain diseases such as dimethylnitrosamine causing liver cancer, was confirmed in 1970 by an epidemic of liver cancer in Norway. The animals were discovered to have been feed fish that was exposed to large quantities of sodium nitrite for preserving.<ref name=cancer> Scanlan, Richard.

Michaud’s studies also show that the risk of bladder cancer was increased by 60% specifically in people who ate bacon more than 5 times a week. Nitrosamines have been suspected to also promote the growth of Glioma, a severe tumor affecting the nervous system, but no real connection has been made.<ref name=health/> | In 1956, two British scientists were inspecting chemicals used in dry cleaning when they came upon Nitrosamines.
