Nitrite/nitrate-rich food may protect the heart

Flip-flop alert:
"Nitrites and nitrates -- compounds that previously gave cured meats a bad rap -- may not be so bad after all, as new research suggests nitrites and nitrates may protect the heart."
Sodium nitrite is a preservative and it's been linked to cancer.
"Nitrites and nitrates can form the potentially cancer-causing compounds, nitrosamines, and, therefore have been considered harmful. However, research has yet to definitively link dietary nitrites/nitrates with cancer in humans."
Now will someone please explain to me what we know about "healthy" foods?

Let me help with your answer. "Squat."
