Nitrosamine

Nitrosamine is a big word that refers to a type of chemical that can be found in certain foods and products. It's made up of tiny little pieces called molecules that are too small to see with our eyes.

When nitrosamine is formed, it can be harmful to our bodies if we eat or inhale too much of it. That's because it can damage our cells and even cause cancer.

Nitrosamine can be found in things like processed meats (like hot dogs and bacon), tobacco smoke, and some cosmetics and cleaning products. It's important to be cautious and limit our exposure to these things to protect our health.
