I suppose you're also scared of the dangers of dihydrogen monoxide?
If you read my post again, you'll see I didn't make any blanket statements about them being bad for you. I only pointed out that they can be a migraine trigger for some people, myself included. I kept track for awhile and realized that most of my migraines occurred shortly after eating bacon, hot dogs, or other cured meats. Now that I stay away from cured meats and red wine, my frequency of migraines has gone way down.
The only point was that if you are avoiding nitrates/nitrites for whatever reason, the "uncured" or "No nitrites added" substitutes are a scam.
Can you eat collard greens, carrots, celery, beets, and random root vegetables? Because if you can, its not the nitrates.
costco polish > sam's hot dog.
well, that was true until costco switched to pepsi and got rid of iced tea. but costco still has brown mustard and chopped onion.
Is it the nitrate/ites in those cured meats, or the salt content in those cured meats --> dehydration that leads to migraines?
I'm just curious, though I know that migraines are, biochemically, a very different animal that the typical headache, and are often triggered by very specific stimula. It wouldnt' surprise me that dehydration has nothing to do with them.

I'd say shit no, but so many people eat crap dogs where it doesn't matter for shit what they put on it. I'd wager money if they were eating a Sabrett dog they wouldn't want to put ketchup on it. It's mind blowing how hard it is to find a Sabret in California, the best dogs ever and they don't even fucking sell them anywhere unless you're in NY.
The DHMO website should have been your first introduction.
I loved that Penn and Teller when I saw it the first time.

just the type of thing a freedom-hating Canadian would say!
Bump of the start of summer.
idg people who like mustard... if there's mustard on my dog or burger, that's all I can taste.
loading your hotdog up with mustard relish sauerkraut drowns out the flavor too. it's no better than ketchup. i will take a moment however to express my distaste for the overwhelmingly sweet ketchup that's so prevalent nowadays. everywhere you go it's all the same heinz crap. all you can taste is the syrup. what happened to tangy ketchup where you can taste the tomato flavor?
I like to put ketchup on hot dogs.
