If brown water is coming from your hot water taps only, it may be rust and sediment in your water heater acting up. Water heaters usually have a lifespan of 10 to 15 years. If your water heater falls somewhere in this range, and your hot water comes out brown often, it may be time to replace it.
Curing is any of various food preservation and flavoring processes of foods such as meat, fish and vegetables, by the addition of combinations of salt, nitrates, nitrites, or sugar, with the aim of drawing moisture out of the food by the process of osmosis. Many curing processes also involve smoking, spicing, or cooking.
Even though adding nitrates to cured meats is no longer necessary with better production and food storage methods, which have decreased the potential for food-borne illness, they are still used in cooked meats to maintain the familiar pink color and cured flavor.ven nitrites themselves are sometimes added directly to meat to speed up the curing process. When nitrates are consumed, they convert in the body to nitrites, which form nitrosamines, a known powerful carcinogen. Eating cured meats containing nitrates may also double your risk for lung disease.
