Researchers at Rhode Island university have evidence that links increased nitrate levels to diabetes alzheimers and Parkinson's disease.
The study, published in the Journal of Alzheimer's Disease, found strong parallels between age adjusted increases in death rate from Alzheimer's, Parkinson's and diabetes and the progressive increases in human exposure to nitrates, nitrites and nitrosamines through processed and preserved foods as well as fertilizers.
We know the levels of nitrates in Jersey surface and borehole supplies is high. Are we storing up a huge medical health bill for the population?

Can I ask - did your prof mean to imply a link between nitrate levels and the size of invertebrates? Is this a known link?
I am trying very hard not to make a comment about the prevalence of outsized spineless wonders locally. So far I have resisted....
