That doesn't say there is no benefit to adding dietry nitrates to the body.
Honestly Wigins, there is quite a lot of research into the matter and effects have been observed.
Like I said I have friends who study this at a respected University in England and they have tested on some elites. I haven't read any papers from them but we have chatted about it.
Here is a paper on the matter I just quickly found after 30s of Googling. I've only read the abstract to be honest:

Here is the scientific information on the urine doping test for beet juice from another poster named Vomit factory:
A while back I was juicing (vegetables) just for vitamins etc. I add beats because I like them in salads, sweet. One day, had extra beats I decided to "use up". It was a huge mistake, total vomit fest. Too much beat juice and I was projectile vomiting - spraying red liquid everywhere. I felt like hell for most of the day. Was terror. Apparently this is well known (learned after, feel free to google). When it comes to beat juice, be very very careful and use small amounts. Or prepare to spend s day projectile vomiting. It also my my pee red all day. Very weird psychologically to be peeing red.
I hope you have more luck with your science experiments than fred or I have had in our past experiments.
This is correct. If you juice beets, be careful. Yes, it will make your urine red, which is just weird, but much worse, it can also make you violently ill if you do too much. Apparently this doesn't happen to everyone, but for a lot of people it does, including me. I've been told (after the fact) to never do more than half a beet - I did three one morning. I started feeling sick, and then projectile puked periodically over the course of an hour until there was nothing left in me. I was then just weak and sick (bed ridden) for about 8 hours. At first I felt like death, but slowly started feeling better over the 8 hours until was back to normal. Was an extremely unpleasant experience. I don't juice beets any more. If you want to try it, start with small amounts and build slowly. Quote from an article about beets causing illness:
“Unfortunately, some people cannot drink beet juice, as it can cause sickness, vomiting, giddiness, heartthrob, and general weakness. You need to get used to concentrated beet juice little by little, starting with one tablespoon per day.â€

Our experience shows the dangers of fooling around with PEDs such as beets, salads, baking soda, or even anything that contains baking soda...for example... chocolate chip cookies.
Metric Miler...Come on! No teasing. Yes, there is quite a bit of research published on beet juice.
You said some sub 27 min 10k runner has had significant effects from beet juice. Please ask your friends at the University how much the improvement was of this anonymous runner and report back to us here. I am really interested in how much it was.

Scientists also are developing a urine doping test for beet juice and it may be added to the banned list at WADA along with baking soda as early as 2017.
It wouldn't be added to the WADA list as it's not harmful
Did you see the part about chocolate chip cookies also being banned in 2017 because they contain baking soda?

This post was removed.
Much easier to just take a Viagra...
This is great stuff ... I am still chuckling about this.

In order to get the juice out of your beet you have to pound it hard and fast, no juicing machines (as others have suggested) work quite as well as the human touch. Unfortunately getting the juice out of your beet is a messy affair, which is why I have invented my own beet juice remover: Beet Off.

Duh? So instead of eating bananas, I should drink banana juice?
Or eat banana bread.
Beet is bad as can.
