Get to Warped Tour early! Consider not only the drive, but also if you have to stop for gas. You'll have to wait in line to get into the parking lot, the earlier you're in that line, the closer parking spot you'll get.
Nitrates are inorganic compounds that can be found in nature and in several foods we eat. In this lesson, we'll learn more about what nitrates are, what foods contain them and what side effects might occur if we consume too many of them.
Nitrates are a form of nitrogen, consumed in food additives and derived from protein metabolism. The presence of nitrates in the urine is generally considered normal. However, certain bacteria that are frequently the cause of urinary tract infection produce an enzyme that changes urinary nitrates to nitrites. Therefore, the presence of nitrites in the urine is an indirect indication of urinary tract infection. It's possible to have an infection without nitrites in the urine. The only bacteria that change nitrates to nitrites are Escherichia Coli (E. Coli), Klebsiella and Proteus. Other organisms that can cause urinary tract infection which do not cause nitrates to be converted to nitrites include Pseudomonas and enterococci.
