Same here. "Used to" eat the heck out of them.

Me thinks it's time to revisit :D
 
I have a nitrate thread around here somewhere. While hotdogs arent really a great source of protein, I wouldnt be too concerned over the nitrites in them.
 
Nice. I had a couple of national hebrews leaving Home Depot today. I knew I felt healthier afterwards. lol

The issue is nitrosamines not nitrates. There is considerable debate on Nitrosamines but they seem to be pretty harmless all tings considered. In the 70's and 80's there was a huge movement to find carcinogens in the diet. Each one was headlined as "the cause of cancer" until the 90's and beyond and the number of carcinogens discovered was so massive it wasn't even news anymore. Thus poor things like saccharin (anyone remember Orbit Gum) and nitrosamines got this huge black eye.
 
Definitely in the no hot dog crew

Would rather a good sausage on a hot dog bun
