El consejo del ministro de Defensa de Israel ante la pandemia del coronavirus

El ministro de Defensa de Israel, Naftalí Bennet, publicó este sábado un video en el que da sus recomendaciones sobre cómo enfrentar la pandemia del coronavirus, que ya se cobró la vida de más de doce mil personas en todo el mundo.

“Quiero compartir con ustedes el conocimiento más importante de toda la pandemia del coronavirus”, comienza Bennet. “Más que la distancia social generalizada, más que hacer pruebas, pruebas y pruebas, (lo más importante) es separar a los adultos mayores de los más jóvenes”, explicó el funcionario de Israel, que hasta el momento registró unos 800 contagios confirmados y un muerto como consecuencia del COVID-19.

Abstract
Nitrate and nitrite ions are used as food additives to inhibit the growth of microorganisms in cured and processed meats. Vegetables contain significant quantities of nitrate and nitrite. Actually, the vast majority of consumed nitrate and nitrite comes from natural vegetables and fruits rather than food additives. For years, the cancer risks of these two ions have been discussed, since they potentially convert into the carcinogenic nitrosamines. However, recently, these two ions have been considered essential nutrients which promote nitric oxide production and consequently help cardiovascular health. It seems that the role of these two ions in our diet is important now from a different point of view. In this review, the nitrate and nitrite contents of food products from different countries are displayed globally in order to reinterpret the risks/benefits of our consumption quotations. This review article is based on Science Citation Index (SCI) articles reported between 2008 and 2018.
