Nitrate is commonly found in tap water and bottled water as a result of agricultural fertilizers and intensive livestock farming. Consuming nitrate through water consumption over a lifetime may increase the risk of prostate cancer, especially in younger men and with aggressive tumors., according to new research published inNitrate is present in tap water and bottled water, largely due to the use of fertilizer in agriculture and the manure produced by intensive livestock farming.
According to the study, diet is a significant factor to consider. The researchers discovered that consuming high amounts of fiber, fruits/vegetables, and vitamin C may alleviate the adverse impact of nitrate present in drinking water.The aim of the study was to assess whether there was an association between the ingestion of waterborne nitrate and trihalomethanes and the risk of prostate cancer. Nitrate and THMs are two of the most common contaminants in drinking water.
The findings showed that the higher the nitrate intake, the greater the association with prostate cancer. Participants with higher waterborne nitrate ingestion were 1.6 times more likely to develop low-grade or medium-grade prostate cancer and nearly 3 times more likely to develop an aggressive prostate tumor than participants with lower nitrate intakes .
While the ingestion of waterborne THMs was not associated with prostate cancer, THM concentrations in residential tap water were associated with the development of these tumors, suggesting that inhalation and dermal exposure may play a significant role in total exposure. Further studies properly quantifying exposure to THMs via multiple routes are needed to draw firm conclusions.Participants also completed a food frequency questionnaire, which provided individual dietary information.
