TL;DR: There was no association with increasing nitrate in drinking water, nor were there clear and consistent associations for non-Hodgkin lymphoma; leukemia; melanoma; or cancers of the colon, breast, lung, pancreas, or kidney, but there were positive associations for bladder cancer and ovarian, uterine, and rectal cancer.
Journal ArticleDOI
Drinking water and cancer
TL;DR: Epidemiologic assessment of drinking water contaminants is valuable and clearly warranted, given the potential public health impact of small risk elevations among very large exposed populations, and the limitations of toxicologic experiments in assessing carcinogenic risk.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dietary nitrate in man: friend or foe?
TL;DR: McKnight et al. as discussed by the authors showed that acidified nitrite is bactericidal for a variety of gastrointestinal pathogens such as Yersinia and Salmonella, and that it contributes to the formation of systemic S-nitrosothiols.

An Ecologic Study of Nitrate in Municipal Drinking Water and Cancer Incidence in Trnava District, Slovakia
TL;DR: Ecologic data support the hypothesis that there is a positive association between nitrate in drinking water and non-Hodgkin lymphoma and colorectal cancer in an agricultural district of the Slovak Republic.

Antimicrobial effect of acidified nitrite on gut pathogens: importance of dietary nitrate in host defense.
TL;DR: Generation of salivary nitrite from dietary nitrate may provide significant protection against gut pathogens in humans, and addition of SCN-, but not that of CI-, increased the antibacterial activity.
