Study author Professor Anni Vanhatalo, of the University of Exeter, said: “We know that a nitrate-rich diet has health benefits, and older people produce less of their own nitric oxide as they age. They also tend to have higher blood pressure, which can be linked to cardiovascular complications like heart attack and stroke. Encouraging older adults to consume more nitrate-rich vegetables could have significant long term health benefits. The good news is that if you don’t like beetroot, there are many nitrate-rich alternatives like spinach, rocket, fennel, celery and kale.”

Basically, vegetables can low blood pressure, but only in older adults.

The fees on my water bill are already over $100 per month.

The fees on my bill are half this, and I'm in a decent sized single family home on a decent sized lot. Are you sure you're not counting your actual utility usage in there? These fees are paying for street sweepers, code enforcement, storm water drainage, and more, which are all vital services.

"Oh, you have goal X? Well that's wrong - you should have goal Y, and here is how I got there" is not an effective way to offer advice to anyone"

Where did you even get this? No one said this

I don't know why you got downvoted, this is genuinely the most likely reason. If they had proven this technology, they could fund themselves. Right now they just have a hypothesis

I think this has less to do with prices or quality and more to do with a reduction in international tourism across the board.
