Research Overview
Nitrate is a controversial molecule in our food, particularly vegetables, meat, and water. Some think it's bad for us, causing cancer, while others say it's good for our hearts. Dr Bondonno is on a mission to solve this mystery. Dr Bondonno is investigating if source of nitrate increases or decreases risk of diseases.
With novel lab assays, expertise in conducting clinical trials and epidemiological studies and high-quality source of nitrate data, Dr Bondonno will clear up the confusion and unlock the true health potential of nitrate in our diets.
