France to cut nitrites in food after agency confirms cancer risk (opens in new tab)

Is it? There is more and more consensus that banning DDT caused more deaths than it prevented. The world is a complex and interconnected place and decisions have direct and indirect consequences. Frankly it's refreshing to see any unintended consequences being surfaced in stories like this.

Well. It causes systemic inflammation...which probably allows opportunist cancer.

So, surely that headline will come eventually.

Conflating nitrate with nitrite, an allergy to something that's not an antigen, a substance that's only dangerous when it's not 'natural', a website filled with clickbait.

Based on the number of red flags I'm going to have to dismiss this out of hand, sorry.
