In this video, we’re going to talk about celery juice vs. sodium nitrates in hot dogs. Is it okay to consume hot dogs that use celery juice instead of nitrates?

First, let’s talk about why manufacturers put celery juice in hot dogs and other processed meats. Celery juice is one way to provide nitrates. Nitrates act as a curative agent—they preserve the meat.

The USDA does not recognize celery juice as a curative agent, so they list it as an antimicrobial.

So, is this natural source of nitrates actually healthier to consume than synthetic forms?

Studies show that sodium nitrate found in processed hot dogs and deli meats can contribute to cancer. However, no research shows that celery juice will do the same thing.

Until I read a study that says that it has the same effects, I won’t know if it’s safe or not.

However, I will say that non-organic celery is sprayed with insecticides, pesticides, and herbicides. When you buy organic meats with celery juice, the juice is often not organic.

So the non-organic celery juice actually contaminates the organic grass-fed meat products to some degree.

Overall, try your best to always go organic and grass-fed if you’re going to have a hot dog. Also, try to avoid all nitrates, if possible.

You should do a healthy ketogenic diet and intermittent fasting to offset the effects of any foods with possible carcinogens.
