{'diseases': [9, 0, 10, 7], 'asbestosis': [1, 0, 2, 0], 'osteoporosis': [2, 0, 1, 2], 'minimata disease': [1, 0, 0, 0], 'blue baby syndrome': [0, 0, 1, 1], 'consumption': [2, 4, 6, 10], 'water': [65, 15, 80, 129], 'food': [18, 3, 8, 24]}

Option 1: Minimata disease is not caused by the consumption of nitrate contaminated food and water. Minimata disease is caused by the ingestion of seafood contaminated with methylmercury.

Option 2: Osteoporosis is not caused by the consumption of nitrate contaminated food and water. Osteoporosis is a condition characterized by the loss of bone mass and density, usually due to aging, hormonal changes, or nutritional deficiencies.

Option 3: Blue baby syndrome is caused by the consumption of nitrate contaminated food and water. Nitrate in food and water can be converted to nitrite, which can interfere with the ability of red blood cells to carry oxygen, leading to a bluish discoloration of the skin in infants.

Option 4: Asbestosis is not related to the consumption of nitrate contaminated food and water. Asbestosis is a lung disease caused by the inhalation of asbestos fibers.

Therefore, the correct answer is option 3, Blue baby syndrome.
