The headline is broadly defensible, but the qualifications matter. Effect sizes vary by population, the strongest claims rest on shorter trials, and credible voices push back on how it's typically framed.
So, there's a backup pathway where nitrates that you get in through your diet, so typically that's going to be you know, the green leafy vegetables for the most part. If you have nitrate reducing bacteria in your saliva, that will break that down into nitrites. You swallow that, it goes into your stomach, and then if you have stomach acid, then you can make the enzymes that will make eNOS, you know, make nitric oxide from that nitrite.
Every Sunday: the week’s new conflicts and verdict changes — and nothing else.
Native comments, Twitter mentions, and Reddit threads about this claim — surfaced together so the conversation isn't fragmented across platforms.
Bookmarking — the dossier-vs-overview split is the right call. Most of the time I want overview; sometimes I want receipts.
Would love a "what would change this verdict" RSS feed. Sign me up if it exists.
And one of the benefits of even even vegetables like like uh uh like like spinach and and different things that have um they're actually rich in nitrate and the nitrate gets metabolized by our the the bacteria on our in our mouth to create nitrite and the nitrite gets converted in the body to nitric oxide and you have this whole nitrate nitrite nitric oxide cycling.
But most people don't a lot of people don't have the right bacteria to make that conversion.
