Persuasive Speech on Nitrates in Our Food by Ms. Amy

A persuasive speech for a college-level communications class. Join Ms. Amy as she points out the inherent dangers of nitrates used to preserve meats and other foods we commonly consume. Nitrites are commonly found in the 'sodium nitrite' form in hot dogs, ham, bacon, and canned meats such as Spam.

Some of the effects of nitrites can include increased risk for cancer including colorectal and pancreatic cancers. Reduce your risk by choosing nitrite-free foods and by consuming foods high in antioxidants such as vitamin C.
