Nebraska researchers posit hotdog/cancer link

Note that the risk depends/varies according to the level of sodium nitrite present. Not very helpful. Went to Ingles last night to look into this.

Every brand of hotdogs (even the Kosher brand) at the Central, SC, Ingles contains sodium nitrite. On every package it is listed last or second to last in the ingredients.

Got curious.

Every pre-packaged meat except two brands of sausage contained sodium nitrite. Almost every time the ingredient was listed last.

If you don't want to consume sodium nitrite and you still want the dog (or meat-ish material on a stick), check out Morning Star Farms dogs/ corndogs or Smart Dogs.

Mmmmm. Dogs.
