Null association between frequency of cured meat consumption and methylvaline and ethylvaline hemoglobin adduct levels: the N-nitroso brain cancer hypothesis.

Abstract

Numerous animal experiments have shown definitively that methylnitrosoureas, and particularly ethylnitrosoureas, are potent neurocarcinogens [(1)][1] . Furthermore, experimental studies have demonstrated that ingestion of nitrites and alkylureas results in the formation of alkylnitrosoureas in the
