A Swedish study found that children with type 1 diabetes had eaten more food containing nitrosamines, nitrite, and nitrate than those without diabetes (Dahlquist et al. 1990). A large study in Finland found that children with type 1 diabetes and their mothers ate more nitrite than children (and their mothers) who did not have diabetes. There was no difference for nitrate/nitrite in drinking water (Virtanen et al. 1994).

Those studies conclude that, “These findings suggest that an environmental factor in the etiology [causation] of human diabetes mellitus has been identified” (>Helgason et al. 1982).
