The easiest way to address this problem would be to eat less processed meat &#8211; but that is unlikely to work.<\/p>\n<p>A much more clever way is to prevent these nitrosamines from forming &#8211; ideally in a way that doesn&#8217;t affect the taste or texture.<\/p>\n<p>This is exactly what we have done: with funding from the European Union, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.phytome.eu\/v2\/\">we have investigated<\/a> how different plant extracts can be used in meat products to prevent nitrosamines from forming.<\/p>\n<p>Our results were extremely encouraging: by using natural plant extracts, we could make different types of processed meats (bacon, sausages &#8230;) that didn&#8217;t look or taste different. We compared those meat products with traditional ones in a large intervention study and found that our new recipe reduces the amount of nitrosamines formed considerably.<\/p>\n<p>So perhaps you can have your bacon and eat it too.<\/p>\n<p><em>Image\u00a0credit:<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Top:\u00a0bacon, 2008, Jack Lyons.
