It sure is confusing. As I read it, the study mentioned here says that improving HDL within a specified range has no impact on the rate of heart attacks or mortality of diabetics. The study says nothing about non-diabetics and HDL.

Yes vegetables and vegetable drinks like celery juice can contain a lot of nitrates that convert to nitrites in the body. It is very difficult to get away from them since vegetables seem to be among the most healthy foods.

The high pressure technology that was invented and used is an interesting read elsewhere.

Also, Trader Joe’s sells “uncured” bacon, hot dogs and lunchmeat. However, most brands moronically add concentrated celery juice which contains naturally occuring nitrates.

I agree that obesity can be cured by a combination of a healthy diet and exercise and, in some cases, by either diet or exercise alone. Helping people in this regard is mainly an issue of creating a context in which they see weight-loss and more healthy living as important for them and providing them social support and information on what to do. In some cases, this can prove to be very difficult.
