DESCRIPTION: The natural flora on our tongue (lingual bacteria) is essential for the athletic performance-enhancing effect of the nitrates in vegetables such as beetroot. Have a question about this video? Leave it in the comment section at http://nutritionfacts.org/videos/dont-use-antiseptic-mouthwash/ and I'll try to answer it! If you're asking yourself "what beet-related boost in athletic performance?" you may have missed the first video in this series Doping with beet juice (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/doping-with-beet-juice/). And if the whole "nitrate to nitrite double pass" is a mystery to you, then check out yesterday's video (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/priming-the-proton-pump/). If you're thinking "wait a second, aren't nitrites the preservatives in cured meats that cause cancer?" then you're way ahead of me—stay tuned to the 14 following videos in this series and feel free in the meantime to check out the hundreds of other videos on 1000+ topics (http://nutritionfacts.org/topics/).
