The NutriNet-Santé cohort — a long French nutrition study run out of Sorbonne Paris Nord — followed 112,395 people for 7.9 years and found the preservative aisle correlating with cardiovascular events. 78.7% of them were women.
That is 88,455 women feeding a signal into a dataset the European Food Safety Authority will "evaluate." EFSA re-reviewed sodium nitrite in 2017 and again in 2023 and moved the acceptable intake by exactly zero. At that cadence, 88,455 women divided by one revised additive every six years is 14,742 women per gram of regulatory motion. I did the arithmetic.
Meanwhile Mathilde Touvier's team hands them a clean cohort and it will sit in a PDF while some 61-year-old panel chair in Parma orders the veal carpaccio, cured with E250, and asks for extra bread.
The women were counted. That is the part that ends.
