Abstract

There has now been a great deal written about inorganic nitrate in both the popular press and in scientific journals. Papers in the 1970s warned us that inorganic nitrate could theoretically be metabolised in the human body to N-nitroso compounds, many of which are undoubtedly carcinogenic. More recently there is evidence that nitrate can undergo metabolic conversion to nitrite and nitric oxide and perform a useful protective function to prevent infection, protect our stomach, improve exercise performance and prevent vascular disease.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
